5.1.1 System Beeper Setting (enabled/disabled)

This function enables or disables the RAIDBank4 alert buzzer. It is not recommended to turn the buzzer off as it will not provide audible cues when faults occur.

5.1.2 Background Task Priority (ultralow, low, normal, high)

The Background Task Priority is a relative indication of how much time the controller devotes to a background initialization or rebuild operations. The RAIDBank4 allows user to choose the rebuild priority (ultralow, low, normal, high) to balance volume set access and rebuild tasks appropriately. The lower the priority, the greater the responsiveness of the RAID to host activity, but at a cost of longer background task completion.

5.1.3 Terminal Port Configuration

The RAIDBank4 has provisions for an RS232 host management connection. In order to use the RS232, a special cable has to be used (not included)- consult your authorized Micronet reseller for more information. The communications port configuration defaults are 115200 Baud., 1 Stop bit operation. The baud rate (1200-115200) and stop bits (1,2) are user selectable. Handshaking and parity are fixed at none
