Caution: When you delete a JBOD disk, you lose all data stored on that disk.
To delete a JBOD disk:
1 In the Physical Devices View, click the JBOD disk.
2 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Delete JBOD disk.
The disk drive becomes available, and can be used to create a new JBOD, logical drive (see

xpand an existing logical drive (see page 70).
Maintaining an Energy-Efficient Storage Space
You can use power management in Adaptec Storage Manager to maintain an energy-efficient
storage space. Power management of your storage space reduces cooling and electricity costs. It
increases system stability due to lower heat dissipation. And it improves the quality of your
work environment by reducing noise levels in your computer rooms and data centers.
This section describes how to configure power management for the logical drives and RAID
controllers in your storage space. You can configure power management for an individual
logical drive or for all logical drives on a controller.
● To configure power management for a logical drive, see the following section.
● To configure power management for a controller, see page 77.
● To disable power management on a logical drive, see page 78.
● To show devices under power management, see page 79.
Note:
Power management is not available on all controllers.To see if your controller supports
power management, right-click the controller in the Enterprise View, then click Properties. The
Power tab shows the power status of the device. (If the tab is not present, the device does not
support power management.) You can check the power status in the Properties panel for
controllers, logical drives, and physical drives. In the following example, a logical drive under power
management is running at full power, indicating that its drives are operating at their peak spin rate.
Configuring Power Management for a Logical Drive
This section describes how to configure power management for an existing logical drive. You
can also configure power management when you create a logical drive in the wizard (see page
42).
