Enable or Disable a Drive Port

Use this procedure to enable or disable a physical port on a drive.

1. Select Tools > System Detail.

2. Expand the Drive Folder, and click the drive you want to modify.

3. Click Properties.

4. Set the Port A Enabled or Port B Enabled status as follows:

True—Turns on the port.

False—Turns off the port; the communication channel between the host software and

the drive is disabled.

5. The network software automatically configures the Port (A or B) address. This is

called soft mode addressing.
