Hard Drive Self Diagnostics

Your Force or Ion hard drive is equipped
with the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analy-
sis, and Reporting Technology) monitoring
system, which helps predict hard drive fail-
ure and avoid system crashes by collecting
hard drive data and recording errors. The
test can be initiated manually, as described
below, but also runs automatically when the
game is turned on or software is installed. A
warning will appear during software instal-
lation if there are hard drive issues that may
hinder installation or cause damage to the
game.

To initiate the test and access the reports,
touch

Reports

Each attribute displayed on the S.M.A.R.T.
report will show a grade of “PASSED”, “FAIL-
ING NOW” or “FAILED IN THE PAST”, deter-
mined by the attribute’s rating in relation to
its given threshold. By touching the green
“

” to the left of each entry, operators can

view the grade and rating of that attribute in
the pop-up window. If the rating is above
the threshold, the attribute has “PASSED”; if
the value is below the threshold, it is “FAIL-
ING NOW”; and if the attribute was previ-
ously but is no longer below the threshold, it
has ”FAILED IN THE PAST”. Press
