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 devices and RAID controllers in your storage space. You can configure power management for an individual logical device or for all logical devices on a controller.

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 devices, and physical drives.
