某些SAS驅(qū)動器的固件有一定的局限性：它們可以工作一段時間（在固件內(nèi)部寫有“開機時間”值），但是當(dāng)時間結(jié)束時，無論其狀態(tài)如何，驅(qū)動器都會停止工作。此外，某些NAS系統(tǒng)可能需要特殊的扇區(qū)大?。好總€扇區(qū)512/520/528字節(jié)。從版本6.7.12開始，可以使用PC-3000 SAS成功解決這些問題。（如果支持驅(qū)動器）。因此，讓我們同千喜成都數(shù)據(jù)恢復(fù)中心一起看看如何處理。

Some SAS drives have a limitation in their FW: they work for some time (Power-on Hours value written inside of FW), but when the time is over, the drive stops working no matter its condition. Also, some NAS systems can require a special sector size: 512/520/528 bytes per sector. These issues can be successfully solved with the?PC-3000 SAS, beginning with ver.?6.7.12, if a drive is supported. So, let’s see how to deal with that.

我們知道如何使用PC-3000 SAS的”Download microcode” 功能來更改硬盤固件,型號和供應(yīng)商以便恢復(fù)NAS存儲服務(wù)器數(shù)據(jù)并使其正常工作。但是在將FW加載到目標(biāo)系統(tǒng)以安裝HDD之后，您可能需要更改扇區(qū)的大小。有些服務(wù)器的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)扇區(qū)大小為512字節(jié)/扇區(qū)，服務(wù)器和存儲系統(tǒng)使用的扇區(qū)大小為520或528字節(jié)/扇區(qū)。

We know?how to change FW, model, and vendor using the “Download microcode” feature. But after loading FW in the target system to install the HDD, you may need to change the size of a sector. There are servers with a standard sector size of 512 bytes/sector, and servers and storage systems that use a sector size of 520 or 528 bytes/sector.

您可以在錄制固件之前或之后更改扇區(qū)的大小。固件錄制后做得更好。

You can change the size of the sector before recording FW or after that. Better done after FW recording.

要更改扇區(qū)的大小，必須首先實際更改扇區(qū)的大小，然后執(zhí)行格式化。轉(zhuǎn)到工具->硬盤->設(shè)置最大LBA：

To change the size of a sector, you must first actually change the size of the sector, and then perform formatting. Go to?Tools->HDD->Set Max LBA:

在“扇區(qū)大小”字段中，將大小更改為值，通常為512、520、528。在“保存到”字段中，選擇“服務(wù)”區(qū)域（默認(rèn)值為RAM。單擊“確定”。

In the?Sector size?field, change the size to the value, usually 512, 520, 528. In the?Save into?field, select?Service area?(the default is?RAM. Click Ok.

注意！執(zhí)行此步驟之后，如果選擇了“保存到服務(wù)”區(qū)域而不是“?RAM”中，則在格式化完成之前將無法訪問數(shù)據(jù)。

Attention!?After this procedure, if?Save into Service area?is selected, and not in?RAM, access to data will become impossible until formatting is completed.

更改扇區(qū)大小后，必須格式化整個磁盤。

After changing the sector size, you must format the entire disk.

注意！格式化之后，所有用戶數(shù)據(jù)將被刪除。

Attention!?After the formatting procedure, all user data will be erased.

選擇測試->格式或按工具欄上的按鈕：

Select?Tests ->Format?or press the button on the toolbar:

您可以保留No參數(shù)，但是完成百分比將不可見，并且在該過程的哪個階段也不清楚。

You can leave?No parameters, but then the percentage of completion will not be visible and it will not be clear at what stage the process is at.

選擇擴展：

• 立即返回格式狀態(tài)：設(shè)置此復(fù)選框可使系統(tǒng)控制格式設(shè)置過程。如果未設(shè)置此復(fù)選框，則格式化將作為一個非常長的命令執(zhí)行。在這種情況下，僅在格式化命令結(jié)束后，執(zhí)行其他命令的嘗試才會結(jié)束。設(shè)置此復(fù)選框?qū)?dǎo)致以下事實：在執(zhí)行格式化命令的過程中，系統(tǒng)將向HDD請求有關(guān)其執(zhí)行的信息?！案袷交泵畹耐瓿砂俜直蕊@示在過程狀態(tài)顯示區(qū)域中。
• Return format status immediately: Setting this checkbox allows the system to control the formatting process. In the case when this checkbox is not set, formatting is performed as one very long command. In such a case, an attempt to execute any other command will end only after the formatting command ends. Setting this checkbox leads to the fact that in the process of executing a formatting command, the system will request information about its execution from the HDD. The percentage of completion of the “Formatting” command is displayed in the process status display area.
• 清除GList：設(shè)置此復(fù)選框?qū)⑶宄鼼List。
• Clear G-List: Setting this checkbox clears the GList.
• 禁止驗證：選中此復(fù)選框可以加快格式化過程，因為不執(zhí)行格式化后內(nèi)部HDD固件對磁盤表面的驗證。
• Prohibit verification: Setting this checkbox allows you to speed up the formatting process because the verification of the disk surface by the internal HDD firmware after formatting is not performed.
• 缺陷列表損壞時的中斷格式處理：某些HDD型號需要設(shè)置此復(fù)選框。如果格式化過程立即失敗，請參閱HDD上的文檔。
• Interrupt format process if defect list is damaged: Some HDD models require this checkbox to be set. See the documentation on the HDD if the formatting process immediately fails.
• 從文件加載缺陷列表：您可以從缺陷文件加載已保存的缺陷表。在格式化期間，這些缺陷將被寫入GList。
• Load defect list from file: you can load the saved defect table from the defect file. During formatting, these defects will be written to GList.

您需要立即設(shè)置“返回格式”復(fù)選框以顯示完成百分比。并且，如果不需要驗證，則標(biāo)記為“禁止驗證”。

You need to set the checkbox?Return format status immediately?to display the percentage of completion. And, if verification is not necessary, the flag is?Prohibit verification.

單擊確定。命令開始執(zhí)行。根據(jù)磁盤容量的不同，格式化時間可能會非常長，從30分鐘到幾小時不等。格式化過程不能中斷。如果由于某種原因格式化被中斷，則需要重新啟動。

Click?Ok. Command execution will begin. The formatting time can be quite big, depending on the disk capacity, from 30 minutes to several hours. The formatting process cannot be interrupted. If for some reason the formatting is interrupted, then you need to start it again.

某些SAS驅(qū)動器只能在有限的時間內(nèi)工作，該值稱為開機時間（POH）并用HDD FW編寫。

Some SAS drives can work only a limited amount of time, this value is named Power On Hours (POH) and written in HDD FW.

要編輯POH，我們需要轉(zhuǎn)到測試->服務(wù)信息->使用服務(wù)區(qū)域-> HDD ID編輯器：

To edit?POH?we need to go to?Tests->Service information->Work with service area->HDD ID editor:

目前暫時無法更改序列號，但是我們可以手動輸入任何“開機時間”和“開始/停止”周期值，然后按“確定”。具有ROM寫入功能的更改序列號的功能將在最近的時間添加到PC-3000 SAS中。

The serial number is not available to change for the moment, but we can manually enter any?Power On Hours?and?Start/Stop cycles?values, and press?Ok. The feature of changing the serial number is going to be added to the PC-3000 SAS in the nearest time with the ROM writing ability.

要應(yīng)用更改，必須重新啟動驅(qū)動器。更改被保存到服務(wù)區(qū)。轉(zhuǎn)到HDD ID編輯器，然后檢查POH和“開始/停止”值是否是新的。

To apply the changes the drive must be restarted. Changes are being saved to the Service Area. Go to?HDD ID editor?and check if POH and Start/Stop values are new.

現(xiàn)在，該驅(qū)動器可以再次用作新驅(qū)動器。請不要忘記進行任何備份！

Now the drive can be used again as a new one. Please do not forget to make a backup before any action!
