(S.M.A.R.T.) can warn you of impending drive problems
before the drive fails.
Disk 1-2, LVM, RAID 1, or RAID 0
of the drive is displayed. Click Test Now to begin the
S.M.A.R.T. check.
Standby
The drive(s) go into standby mode after the specified
period of idle time. During standby mode, the Network
Storage System uses less energy and emits less heat. If the
fan powers off, then noise is also reduced.
Set Hard Disk to Standby Mode after
Idle 30 minutes, if you want the period of idle time to be
30 minutes. Select Idle 10 minutes, if you want the period
of idle time to be 10 minutes.
Power off the fan after All Hard Drives are in Standby
Mode The fan of the Network Storage System powers
off when the drive(s) are idle for a period of time. Keep
the default, 20 Minutes, if you want the fan to power off
after 20 minutes of inactivity. Select 40 Minutes if you
want the fan to power off after 40 minutes of inactivity.
Select 10 Minutes if you want the fan to power off after
10 minutes of inactivity. Select Never if you want the fan
to always be powered on as long as the Network Storage
System is powered on.
NOTE:
During standby mode, the hard drive(s)
and fan may activate for a capacity check or
other network activity. When there is no more
activity, the hard drive(s) will return to standby
mode, and then the fan will stop.
Disk Full
When drive capacity is nearly full, the Network Storage
System will log it and send an e-mail alert.
Send E-Mail Alert when Disk Available Capacity is Less
than Keep the default, 2%, if you want to be alerted
when less than 2% of the total drive capacity is available.
Select 2GB, if you want to be alerted when less than 2 GB
is available. Select 5GB, if you want to be alerted when
less than 5 GB is available. (After you have finished making
changes to the Disk Utility screen, click System Options to
enter e-mail address(es) in the E-Mail Alert section.)
Click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel to clear all
