Array Power-
Up and Built-In
Self-Test
(BIST)
When the array is powered up, the display/operation panel turns on and a Built-
In Self-Test (BIST) is executed. Text descriptions for most of the tests briefly
appear on the panel as the tests are performed. This process takes approximately
10 seconds, after which the drives in the array are started and begin to spin up.
When this process is finished, the display should look like this:
Initial Display
Normally, the initial display appears as shown above: (or assigned
array name) . If a failure occurs with any of the drives in the
array, however, the bottom line will show the status of each of the nine drives
in descending order, from left to right. For example, an array with a failed drive
6 would display: (data drives 9876-5432 and parity drive 1).
The down arrow at the right end of the top line indicates that menu selections
are available only in that direction.
Tree-
Structured
Menu
The first level in the tree (below the initial display, entered by pressing the
down arrow once) is the level, which divides the menu
tree into the categories shown in the figure below.
“Menu Structure (1 of 5—Array Options)” on page 3-6 illustrates the entire
menu structure. The “Display Key” on “Menu Structure (2 of 5—Array
Options)” on page 3-7 explains which arrows are enabled for each menu.
Note See the Display/Operation Panel Quick Reference included with
the equipment for an abbreviated version of the diagrams on the
following pages.
