Press Alt-3 or 3 immediately to bring up the 3ware BIOS Manager
(3BM)
.

Normally your 3ware configuration remains on-screen for just a few
seconds. However, if a unit has degraded, the screen indicates the
problem and remains on your screen longer.

If you plan to make changes to your configuration and need to backup
data before continuing, press ESC and do so now. Otherwise, press any
key to continue.

If you have more than one 9750 controller in your system, a screen lists
the available boards. (See Figure 10.) In this case, highlight the board
with which you want to work and press Enter.

If you have more than four boards, you see only four at first (only four
can be processed at a time). After you exit from 3BM, you can access the
BIOS again, and access the next boards.
