Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 90 Option Description Physical Drives Display When enabled, connected disk drives are displayed during system Power During POST On Self Test (POST). Displaying the disk drives adds a few seconds to the overall POST time. Default is disabled. DVD/CD-ROM Boot Support When enabled, the system can be booted from a bootable CD. (This setting is not available on all RAID controller models.) Removable Media When enabled, removable media devices, such as CD drives, are Devices Boot Support supported. (This setting is not available on all RAID controller models.) Alarm Control When enabled, the alarm sounds. Default is enabled. Note-When the alarm is turned off (disabled), it will automatically turn back on after a reboot. Default Background Task Priority Sets the default priority for background tasks on the controller (such as logical drive creation) to High, Medium, or Low. Default is Medium. Note-This setting applies to new tasks. It does not affect currently running tasks. LED Indication Mode When set to Activity/Fault, the drive LEDs blink to indicate I/O activity (randomly depending on I/O load) and fault (steady 1Hz). When set to Fault Only, the drive LEDs blink to indicate fault state only. Default is Activity/Fault. Backplane Mode When set to Auto, controller automatically detects backplane signal type: I2C or SGPIO. To set the backplane mode explicitly select SGPIO, I2C, or Disabled. Default is Auto. Selectable Performance When set to Dynamic, performance criteria adjusts automatically based Mode on controller usage, RAID level, and disk drive type. When set to OLTP/ Db, performance criteria is optimized for transaction-oriented applications, such as data entry and retrieval. Default is Dynamic. Power Management Settings Note: When power management is disabled, no related options will be displayed. Note: Make sure the operating system driver supports power management. Note: Default settings are shown in bold type. Option Power Management Settings Time Zone Stay Awake Start Stay Awake End Description When enabled, switches the system to low power state, based on the specified settings. The time zone of the place in which the system is located. Time specific power management settings are implemented based on the set time zone. By default, it is set to 00:00. The valid range for the time zone settings is -12:00 to +12:00. The time from which the system should operate in the full power mode, irrespective of other power management settings, daily. By default it is set to 00:00. The valid range is 00:00 to 23:59. The time until which the system should operate in the full power mode, irrespective of other power management settings, daily. By default it is set to 00:00. The valid range is 00:00 to 23:59.
