Favorites
The Favorites feature lets you tag a label as a Favorite. All devices with that label appear in every page's
sidebar (except the Settings page) under the Favorites heading. You can mark any label as a favorite,
including your own labels and those created by other users.
Attach Device
The Attach Device operation creates a link so the IO Accelerator interacts with the operating system. In most
cases, the operating system driver automatically attaches the installed IO Accelerators at boot time so you
only need to use Attach Device when you manually detach an IO Accelerator (such as to perform a low-level
format).
To attach a detached IO Accelerator and enable the operating system to interact with the device:
1. Select one or more detached IO Accelerators in the tree. They appear with the open link.
2. Click Attach Device. The IO Accelerator Management Tool asks you to confirm the attachment.
If the selected drive is already attached, the Attach button is grayed out.
3. Click Attach to confirm the operation.
Attach Device connects the device. The Attach Device operation progress bar also appears in the
Device Report panel indicating the percentage completed. When the Attach operation finishes, the
following message appears.
When this message appears, the device is attached and available to the operating system.
If the Attach Device operation fails, an error message appears.
Attaching mixed attached/detached devices
If you select a set of IO Accelerators to attach where some are attached and some are detached, the Confirm
Attach dialog box displays a list of the drives and their statuses.
When you click Attach, the IO Accelerator Management Tool connects only the detached devices (those
marked Ready).
Detach Device
Detach Device disconnects your IO Accelerator from the operating system. The device is not accessible to
users or applications. Use Attach Device to make it accessible again. You should only need to detach an IO
Accelerator to perform a low-level format or a firmware upgrade.
To detach a device:
1. Select one or more IO Accelerators from the Device Tree. You can only detach attached devices.
2. Click Detach. The IO Accelerator Management Tool console will ask you to confirm.
3. Click Detach. If the selected device is already detached, the Detach button is grayed out.
