RAID Management Software (WebPAM)

You can combine SuperSwap 4600 with a Promi se F astTrak RAID Controller and

WebPAM Software on your PC. WebPAM provid es a graphic user interface (GU I)

for array management and enclosure monitoring.

The screen above appears when you click the SuperSwap icon in WebPAM.

It reports fan speeds, enclosure temperature, power status and the status of the

disk drives in the SuperSwap enclosure.

WebPAM reports specific values. The Disk window shows the carrier position in

SuperSwap enclosure and the controller port to which each disk drive is

connected. This feature helps you identify a disk drive that may need attention.
