In Windows Disk Management, make these volumes as Dynamic Disks and span

6. Alarm Conditions / Degraded RAID Set

There are two possible sources for alarms: one from the front of the drive
enclosure, the other from the RAID Controller installed inside the PRO Q.

Enclosure Alarms (front right)
(Audible and red indicators):

• Temperature (enclosure detected over heating

condition)

• Fan (enclosure cooling fan not operational, could lead

to over heating)

Mute Alarm: Enclosure audible alarm can be muted
by pressing the Reset button next to the indicators,
the red indicator remains on until the condition is
corrected.




RAID Controller Alarm
(Audible and RAID Console GUI indicator):

• Degraded RAID Set (one or more drives not detected or

down)

• Temperature (RAID Controller detected over heating)

Mute Alarm: RAID Controller Alarm can be muted by
the RAID Console. Start the RAID Console GUI, go
to System Controls > View Event / Mute Beeper.




The Systems Event Information screen provides a log of events which triggered
the alarm. The example below shows the RAID Set is degraded because IDE
Channel 4 (drive 4) was removed.
