Chapter 3 Startup and Navigation The Intelligent BBU's features and functionality are described in detail in Chapter 4, "Intelligent BBU Setup." This feature provides a means of keeping up-to-date information on the condition and charge of the Battery Backup Unit. This greatly helps in preventing a loss of user data in case of a power outage and allows the user a method of checking or recharging the battery without removing it from the FCArray Controller. • Scan Devices: Scans for new devices, which have been recently added and are not currently identified within FCArray Assistant. • Advanced Functions: Opens a submenu from which you can select the following option (see Figure 3-6): ◊ Performance Analysis - Not available in this version of FCArray Assistant. ◊ Flash Utility - Provides the ability to upgrade controller firmware, as new firmware maintenance releases become available. ◊ Shutdown - The shutdown feature should only be used when performing maintenance on the Rack Storage/12FC (or FCArray Controller Card) where AC power will be disconnected for more than 48 hours. This feature prevents potential user data loss by flushing the write-back cache and prevents unnecessary draining of the battery back-up unit (BBU). Figure 3-6. Advanced Functions Submenu • Settings: Opens a tabbed dialog box in which you can specify the Alert/Alarm, Communication, and Event Editor settings that you desire. Examples of such settings include type of alarm, such as pager, fax, e-mail, modem baud rate, COM port, stop bits, data bits, parity, event severity level, event message editing, and so on. 24

The Intelligent BBU’s features and functionality are described in detail in
Chapter 4, "Intelligent BBU Setup." This feature provides a means of
keeping up-to-date information on the condition and charge of the Battery
Backup Unit. This greatly helps in preventing a loss of user data in case of
a power outage and allows the user a method of checking or recharging the
battery without removing it from the FCArray Controller.
Scan Devices
: Scans for new devices, which have been recently added and
are not currently identified within FCArray Assistant.
Advanced Functions
: Opens a submenu from which you can select the
following option (see Figure 3-6):
Performance Analysis
- Not available in this version of FCArray
Assistant.
Flash Utility
- Provides the ability to upgrade controller firmware, as
new firmware maintenance releases become available.
Shutdown
- The shutdown feature should only be used when
performing maintenance on the Rack Storage/12FC (or FCArray
Controller Card) where AC power will be disconnected for more than
48 hours. This feature prevents potential user data loss by flushing the
write-back cache and prevents unnecessary draining of the battery
back-up unit (BBU).
