Voyager 3000 User Guide

1.View Drive Information: this option gives information relating to the drive selected. Information about the drive Revision No., Serial No., and Disk Capacity is shown.

2.Scan SCSI Drive: this option is covered in detail on page 4-16.

3.Set Slot Number: this option allows you to assign a slot number for each of the drives in the Voyager 3000 system.

4.Add Drive Entry: this option allows you to assign a slot number to an empty carrier with no drive when using the fault bus. In the future if a new drive is added to this slot it is not necessary to assign the lot number again.

5.Clear Drive Status: this option allows the user to delete an empty drive entry. If there is a drive in the slot or if a slot number has been assigned to the empty slot then this option will not clear the drive entry.

6.Toggle Failure Signal: this option allows the user to either switch On or Off the failure LEDS on the front of the carrier for the purpose of testing the failure LED’s.
