Changing or
Selecting a
Menu Option
Display/operation panel options or parameters currently in use by the array are
identified by an asterisk (*) on the display. Change or select a menu option as
follows:
1. Use the directional arrows on the keypad to navigate to the menu option
that you want to select or change.
2. Press and release the left or right arrow until the selection you want
appears on the display.
3. Press SELECT to “lock in” this new selection. An asterisk will appear
in front of the new selection.
4. Press the appropriate directional arrows on the keypad to navigate to the
next display that you want to change or select.
Saving
Changes
When a new function or value is chosen and you press the SELECT key, the
change becomes effective immediately. The only time this does not happen is
when a command is executing. In this case, the array waits for the command
to complete before initializing the new selection.
Default
Settings
Most of the “default” settings discussed on the following pages are factory
settings. If you change a setting, be sure to note that your new setting becomes
the new “default” setting. Whenever the array is RESET or powered down, it
will retain the same value for each parameter that was in effect before the
RESET or power-up. There are two exceptions:
• ON/OFF LINE will always revert to ON LINE
• REBUILD% will always revert to 99%
