Select an IDE controller entry from the Mass Storage list to display a submenu containing separate entries for IDE Controller Information, IDE ATA disk drives connected to the controller, and IDE ATAPI devices connected to the controller. Device types include disks, CD-ROMs, tape drives, processors, scanners, optical drives, WORM drives, and so on. The following items may be displayed depending on the type of controller:
IDE Controller Information
IDE ATA Disk Drives
IDE ATAPI Devices
Select a controller entry from the Mass Storage list to display the following information.
Model displays the controller's model string, used for identification purposes.
Slot displays the physical slot number where the controller is installed in the system or N/A if slot number is not available.
Firmware Version displays the controller's firmware version.
The information displayed for each IDE ATA disk drive entry in the submenu includes condition graphic and disk drive location: Primary or Secondary channel, Master device 0 or Slave device 1. If the Storage Agents cannot determine the channel then Channel unknown will be displayed. If the device position cannot be determined then Device unknown will be displayed. You may need to upgrade your driver software or the Storage Agents. Select any of the disk drives from the submenu to display more information about the disk drives. The following information is displayed for all disk drives:
Model displays the model of the disk drive.
Status displays the current status of the disk drive. The following values are valid:
OK - The disk drive is operating normally.
SMART Error - The SMART predictive failure monitoring predicts imminent failure of this disk drive. Schedule replacement before actual failure occurs.
Failed - The disk drive has failed and needs to be replaced.
Unknown - The Storage Agents cannot determine the status of the disk drive. You may need to upgrade your driver software or Storage Agents.
SMART Support indicates whether SMART support is available for this disk drive. The following values are valid:
Available - This drive supports predictive failure monitoring.
Not Available - Predictive failure monitoring is not available for this drive.
Unknown - The Storage Agents cannot determine if the drive supports predictive failure monitoring. You may need to upgrade your driver or Storage Agents.
Serial Number displays the serial number of the disk drive.
Firmware Version displays the firmware version of the disk drive.
Capacity (MB) displays the capacity of the drive in megabytes. For example, 210 identifies a 210-megabyte drive. A megabyte is defined as 1,048,576 bytes. The capacity value shown may differ from the stated size of the drive due to different definitions of a megabyte. Many hardware manufacturers use the value of 1,000,000 for megabyte instead of 1,048,576.
Transfer mode displays the data transfer mode of the disk drive. The following values are valid:
PIO Mode 0 - The data transfer mode is programmed input/output mode 0.
PIO Mode 1 - The data transfer mode is programmed input/output mode 1.
PIO Mode 2 - The data transfer mode is programmed input/output mode 2.
PIO Mode 3 - The data transfer mode is programmed input/output mode 3.
PIO mode 4 - The data transfer mode is programmed input/output mode 4.
DMA Mode 0 - The data transfer mode is direct memory access mode 0.
DMA Mode 1 - The data transfer mode is direct memory access mode 1.
DMA Mode 2 - The data transfer mode is direct memory access mode 2.
Ultra DMA Mode 0 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 0.
Ultra DMA mode 1 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 1.
Ultra DMA Mode 2 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 2.
Ultra DMA Mode 3 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 3.
Ultra DMA Mode 4 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 4.
Ultra DMA Mode 5 - The data transfer mode is ultra direct memory access mode 5.
Unknown - The Storage Agents cannot determine the disk drive data transfer mode.
The information displayed for each IDE ATAPI device entry in the submenu includes condition graphic and device location: Primary or Secondary channel, Master device 0 or Slave device 1. If the Storage Agents cannot determine the channel then Channel unknown will be displayed. If the device position cannot be determined then Device unknown will be displayed. You may need to upgrade your driver software or the Storage Agents. Select any of the devices from the submenu to display more information about the devices. The following information is displayed for all devices:
Device type identifies the type of ATAPI device. The following values are valid:
Disk - A direct-access device, such as a disk drive.
Removable Media Disk - A removable media device, such as a floppy disk drive.
Tape - A sequential-access device, such as a tape drive.
Printer - A printer device.
Processor - An operating device, such as a central processing unit or Compaq ProLiant Storage System.
WORM drive - A write-once, read-many times device.
CD-ROM - A CD-ROM, read-only device.
PD-CD Drive - A combination CD-ROM drive and removable media read-write drive.
Scanner - A scanning device.
Optical - An optical memory or storage device.
Jukebox - A media-changer device, such as a tape or CD library.
Communications Device - A communications device, such as a LAN bridge.
Unknown - The Storage Agents could not determine the device type. You may need to upgrade your support software or Storage Agents.
Model displays the model of the device.
Firmware Version displays the firmware version of the device.
