Section 4 - Configuration S.M.A.R.T. Test S.M.A.R.T stands for"Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology". This is a system on a hard drive used to monitor and report on the health of the drive. If the HD is grayed out, then it does not support S.M.A.R.T. To run the S.M.A.R.T test, select the hard drive you wish to perform the S.M.A.R.T test on. Select whether to run a Quick or Extended S.M.A.R.T test. Then click Start to run the test. Click the Create Schedule button to run the test at a pre-determined time and date (refer to page 102). The Quick Test usually takes less than 10 minutes. This test will check the electrical, mechanical, and read performance of the hard drive. The results are displayed as Passed/Failed on the web UI and can also be sent as an e-mail alert. The Extended Test requires a lot more time to complete. However, it is a more thorough when compared to the Quick Test A warning message will prompt you to stop all services and network activity. Click Yes to continue the Quick S.M.A.R.T. test. The test will run and a percentage completed will display under the Progress Tab. The Start button will change to a Stop button.
