You can configure RAID to notify you immediately when a there is a problem with a drive on your Windows dedicated server. To do this, use the "Add Recipient" feature in RAID.
NOTE: RAID automatically sends server notifications to our Dedicated Hosting support team. We recommend that you continue to use this configuration and simply add yourself to the notification list. Any other changes to your RAID configuration could result in a hard drive failure going undetected.
To Add Your Email to the RAID Notification List
- Connect to your Windows Dedicated Server using Remote Desktop Connection.
- From the Start menu, select Programs > HighPoint RAID Management Software > Management Console.
- For your User Name, type
RAID. - For your Password, enter the original server administrator password you used created when you set up your dedicated server.
- From the menu at the top, select Operation > Add Recipient.
- Enter your email address and name in the appropriate fields.
- Select what types of notifications you want to receive about your server.
- Click OK.
