Important
Drives can be reset using the Reset button on the Drives screen or using the Power
Drive On/Off utility. This utility should ONLY be run on a drive that is not assigned to
a partition. Do not use the advanced Power Drive on/off utility to reset a drive that
is assigned to a partition. Running this utility on a drive assigned to a partition
disables the host interface.
