Simulate SMART Error Cont.
If you have your E-mail alert enabled during the SMART error
simulation, the person you setup to receive the E-mail alert should
receive an E-mail. This dialog box is a warning that a SMART error
condition (Simulated) has been detected for the drive shown. To
acknowledge the alert, click on the Acknowledge SMART error
condition (Simulated) check box and click OK. Any other action will
remove the dialog box without acknowledging the alert, and the dialog
box warning will display itself again at the next polling period interval.
Both the error condition and the acknowledgment will be logged in the
Logging Property Page.
To disable the Simulate SMART Error option, click on the check box and
click OK. The check mark in the box will disappear.
SMART Off-Line Test
On the Drives Property Page, there is an option called Run SMART
Off-Line Test. This will trigger a low-level, internal drive process that
will rigorously test all aspects of the drive’s integrity. This test can take
from a few minutes to over an hour to complete. Also, some drives will
abort or suspend the off-line test if the drive is accessed at this time.
SMART-ER will restart the test up to 10 times. It is recommended to
close all unnecessary programs and processes while it is running.
HELP Menu
There is a Help Button on each Property Page. Click the Help Button to
display an overview of the dialog box.
For a more in depth Help Menu, right click in any box on a property
page. If there is more information a What’s This will appear. Click on
What’s This and a dialog box will display with more information.
