Terminal Port Configuration:

Speed setting values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,38400, 57600, and 115200.

Stop Bits values are 1 bit and 2 bits. Note: Parity value is fixed at None. Data Bits value is fixed at 8 bits.

JBOD/RAID Configuration

The RAID subsystem supports JBOD and RAID configuration.

Maximum SATA Mode Supported:

The 12 SATA drive channel can support up to SATA ll, which runs up to 300MB/s. NCQ is a command protocol in Serial ATA that can only be implemented on native Serial ATA hard drives. It allows multiple commands to be outstanding within a drive at the same time. Drives that support NCQ have an internal queue where outstanding commands can be dynamically rescheduled or re-ordered, along with the necessary tracking mechanisms for outstanding and completed portions of the workload. RAID subsystem allows user to choose the SATA Mode: SATA150, SAT150+NCQ, SAT300, SATA300+NCQ.

Disk Write Cache Mode:

The RAID subsystem supports auto, enabled and disabled. When the RAID subsystem with BBM (battery backup module) the auto option will Enable disk write cache. Contrariwise, the auto option will Disable disk write cache.

Disk Capacity Truncation Mode:

This RAID subsystem use drive truncation so that drives from differing vendors are more likely to be able to be used as spares for each other. Drive truncation slightly decreases the usable capacity of a drive that is used in redundant units.

Multiples Of 10G: If you have 120 GB drives from different vendors; chances are that the capacity varies slightly. For example, one drive might be 123.5 GB, and the other 120 GB. This drive Truncation mode Multiples Of 10G uses the same capacity for both of these drives so that one could replace the other.

Multiples Of 1G: If you have 123 GB drives from different vendors; chances are that the capacity varies slightly. For example, one drive might be 123.5 GB, and the other 123.4 GB. This drive Truncation mode Multiples Of 1G uses the same capacity for both of these drives so that one could replace the other.

No Truncation: It does not truncate the capacity.
