The Revision Number of the selected SCSI drive will be shown. Press ▼ to see other information.

Other information screens include "Serial Number" and "Disk Capacity" (displayed in blocks- each block equals 512K Bytes).

Revision Number: 0274

IMPORTANT!

•Drives of the same brand/model/capacity might not have the same block number.

•The basic read/write unit of a hard drive is block. If members of a logical drive have different block numbers (capacity), the smallest block number will be taken as the maximum capacity to be used in every drive. Therefore, use drives of the same capacity.

•You may assign a Local/Global Spare Drive to a logical drive whose members has a block number equal or smaller than the Local/Global Spare Drive but you should not do the reverse.
