Getting Started Step 5: Customizing Adaptec Storage Manager ● 62 Setting the Standard Unit of Measure You can set Adaptec Storage Manager to show disk drive capacity in measures of megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). You can choose the Auto-select setting to allow Adaptec Storage Manager to show the most appropriate unit of measure based on disk drive size.

To change the standard unit of measure: 1 In the menu bar of the main window, select File, then click Preferences. 2 Click the Display options tab. 3 In the Capacity display units drop-down menu, select the option you want. 4 Click OK. Changing the Main Window Appearance You can choose to remove the tool bar and status bar from the main Adaptec Storage Manager window to save space on-screen. You can also choose to turn off the Tool Tips that automatically appear when you place your cursor over on-screen items. To change the appearance of the main window, in the menu bar select View. The options in the View menu are toggle switches, which means that they can be selected and deselected by clicking on them. Customizing the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent The Adaptec Storage Manager Agent's default settings are suitable for most storage spaces. (See page 17 for more information about the Agent.) However, you can customize the Agent on any system by: ● Setting the Agent to broadcast events on that system to all logged-in users. See page 63. ● Changing the operating system event log setting for that system. See page 63. ● Changing the frequency and duration of the alarm, or choose to disable the alarm for that system. See page 64. ● Changing to Agent base port number on that system. See page 64. Any changes you make to the Agent settings affect the selected system only and are not applied to all systems in your storage space.
