ASQ

 

DISABLE DRIVE

This menu selection typically displays ￿￿. A non-zero number indicates a failed drive and an ASQ code is associated with the failure. See note below. (This menu selection is display-only.)

XTRA

This menu selection is display-only, and typically displays ￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿. A non- zero number indicates a failed drive and an ASQ XTRA code is associated with the failure. See note below.

Note In this case, ASQ (Additional Sense Code Qualifier) and ASQ XTRA codes apply to a drive failure condition. These codes are not easily interpreted. Contact your service provider for an explanation if these codes are non-zero.

Use this option to shut down any drive in the array for maintenance or replacement. When you press the SELECT key, the array will spin down the drive. This function is not available if another drive is currently disabled or failed.

Note See Chapter 4 for drive replacement and rebuild instructions.
