TABLE B-1 General Settings
Option | Description |
|
|
Drive’s Write Cache | When enabled, write cache is enabled on the disk drive. When |
| disabled, write cache is not used on the disk drive. It is |
| recommended that you disable write cache on the disk drive. |
| Caution - When write cache is enabled, there is a slight possibility |
| of data loss or corruption during a power failure. |
Runtime BIOS | When enabled, the REM BIOS allows the REM to act as a bootable |
| device. Disabling the BIOS allows another REM to act as a |
| bootable device. |
Automatic Failover | When enabled, the REM automatically rebuilds an array when a |
| failed disk drive is replaced. When disabled, the array must be |
| rebuilt manually. |
Array Background | When enabled, the REM constantly verifies a redundant array. |
Consistency Check | Note that there might be a significant performance reduction. |
| Default is disabled. |
BBS Support | When enabled in systems that support BBS, the REM is presented |
| as a bootable device in the BIOS. |
When enabled in systems that support BBS, the REM presents | |
Support | attached bootable devices up to the BIOS for boot device selection. |
| This is relevant for logical arrays. Default is disabled. |
Physical Drives | When enabled, connected disk drives are displayed during system |
Display During | Power On Self Test (POST). Displaying the disk drives adds a few |
POST | seconds to the overall POST time. Default is disabled. |
When enabled, the system can be booted from a bootable CD. | |
