3.1  Subsystem Monitoring Overview 
The A16E-G2130-4 subsystem is equipped with a variety of self-monitoring 
features that help to keep subsystem managers informed of the subsystem 
operational statuses. These monitoring features provide vital feedback to 
help you maintain the operational integrity of the subsystem. Prompt 
response to warnings and subsystem component failure notifications will 
ensure data integrity and help ensure the longevity of the subsystem. 
Self-monitoring features include: 
  Firmware (FW): The RAID controller in the subsystem is 
managed by preinstalled FW, which can be accessed using a PC 
hyper-terminal connected through the COM1 serial port. Device 
status information can be obtained from the FW-embedded 
configuration utility. The FW is fully described in the Generic 
Operation Manual that came with your system. Please refer to 
this manual for further information.  
  RAIDWatch: RAIDWatch is a fully integrated, Java-based, 
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that came with the subsystem and 
can be used to monitor and maintain the subsystem locally or 
remotely over TCP/IP network. Connection to RAIDWatch is 
made using the 10/100BaseT management port.   
The RAIDWatch Panel View can be customized to display a 
graphical representation of the subsystem components in the 
content panel of the RAIDWatch screen. Panel View allows you 
to quickly determine the operational status of critical components. 
Please refer to the RAIDWatch User’s Manual for further details. 
 NOTE: 
Detailed installation instructions for RAIDWatch Manager are given in 
the  RAIDWatch User’s Manual contained in the CD that came with 
your subsystem.  
 
  Configuration Client: The Configuration Client is a powerful 
module that runs as an independent program from RAIDWatch 
and can be installed redundantly on different hosts. It is used for
