2 USING CONFIGURATOR
2.1 CONFIGURATOR BAR
The Configurator Bar allows you to select between multiple
CRU devices that are connected to the computer at the same
time. To select a product and configure it, ensure that your
CRU device is connected to the computer. If the product is not
visible in the drop-down box, click the
Rescan button to detect
it. Then click on the drop-down box and choose the product.
The “Start Monitoring” button enables Configurator’s moni-
toring function, which will send you email or SMS/Text alerts
when a problem with your device is detected. To use this fea-
ture, you must set up an email account in Configurator. See
Section 2.5.1.
2.2 PRODUCT TAB
The Product Tab lists status information about the selected
device. Depending on whether drives are inserted and the con-
nection type used to attach the device to the computer, the
Product tab can display the firmware version and the status of
the enclosure, fans inside the enclosure, and the RAID (if there
is a RAID present). The Product tab also shows you volume
information of any hard drives inside the device, including the
amount of used storage space and individual drive tempera-
ture.
2.3 FIRMWARE TAB
The Firmware Tab allows you to update the firmware for the
selected device.
Before you can update the device’s firmware, you
must remove any drives inserted into your CRU
device and connect the device to your computer with
a USB 2.0 cable. Always power off your device
before removing drives!
Click Check for Updates to begin the process. If no update is
found, the “Status” section will read “Firmware is up to date.”
