Drive Faults

The Active Drive Faults dialog box is automatically displayed whenever a fault occurs. There are two options in this dialog box: Reset Faults and Ignore Faults.

Figure 98: Active Drive Faults Dialog Box

Resetting Faults

Some drive faults are automatically reset when the fault condition is cleared. Others require drive power to be cycled or the drive to be “rebooted” to be cleared. If you wish to continue working in the PowerTools software without resetting the fault, click the Ignore Fault button.

To reset faults that can be reset with the Reset Faults button, simply click the Reset Faults button in the Drive Faults Detected dialog box or push the Reset button on the front of the drive where the fault occurred.

Viewing Active Drive Faults

To view all active drive faults, select the View Faults command from the Device menu. The dialog box displayed is the same as Active Drive Faults dialog box described above.

Rebooting the Drive

To reboot the drive, cycle power or select the Reboot Drive command from the Device menu. This command reboots the drive attached to the active Configuration Window.

Error Messages

PowerTools will pop-up an error message box to alert you to any errors it encounters. These message boxes will describe the error and offer a possible solution.
