Technical Specifications

Drive Self Tests (DPS)

SMART Technology

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and

Reporting Technology)

Drive Protection System (Adaptec and LSI SCSI controllers do not offer DPS)

A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.

Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through the computer's setup procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem and needs to be replaced.

The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain types of failures

DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot (F10 diagnostic access not available with SCSI drives)

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count.

By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure.

SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction

SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection

SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with Defect Reallocation

Security Features

Padlock support

Cable Lock Support

Universal chassis clamp lock support

Padlock loop in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and secures chassis from theft. (0.22" diameter)

Kensington lock slot in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and secures chassis from theft. (3mm x 7mm opening)

Threaded feature in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and locks cables to chassis. Secures chassis from theft and allows multiple units to be chained together when used with optional cable.

Solenoid lock and hood sensorYes

Rear port control cover (optional)

Locks rear IO cables to prevent cable theft.

Serial, Parallel, USB Enable/Disable

Enable or disable serial, parallel or USB ports and hide them form the operating system

Removable Media Write/ Boot Control

Power-On Password

Setup Password

Prevents the computer from being booted from removable media on supported devices (and can disable writes to media)

Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer

Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration

System Software Updating

Product Change Notification

Program to proactively communicate Product Change Notifications (PCNs) and Customer Advisories by email to customers, based on a user-defined profile.

PCNs provide advance notification of hardware and software changes to be implemented in the factory providing time to plan for transition.

Customer Advisories provide concise, effective problem resolution, greatly reducing the need to call technical support.

Remote ROM Flash

Remote Wakeup/

Remote Shutdown

ROM Based Setup (F10) and Start-up Diagnostics

Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console

System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location. Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software, perform security management, or update the ROM.

Yes

Support Software CD & WWWYes

Other Features

ACPI-Ready Hardware

Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI).

Allows the system to wake from a low power mode.

Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low- power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system
