Managing the SAF-TE Board

The SAF-TE Board is a SCSI device from which the RAID Controller can inquire about

environmental conditions such as temperature, power supply and fan status, and the

presence/absence of disk drives. The RAID controller can also tell the SAF-TE Board about

RAID activities such as drive rebuilds and failed disk drives.
SAF-TE configuration settings are automatically enabled when the controller is installed. No

changes are required to the default configuration settings to support the SAF-TE Board.
The user can control the following SAF-TE Board functions:

Change SAF-TE Board LUN
Change additional SAF-TE Board settings

- Polling Interval

- Temperature sensor status
