immediately to bring up the

3ware BIOS Manager

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 3BM detects a degraded array, a red message box appears, to alert you
to the problem. For information about rebuilding a degraded array, see
“About Degraded Units” on page 138.

If you have more than one 9750 controller in your system, a screen lists
the available boards (see Figure 19).

Figure 19. 3ware Controller Board Selection Screen

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, to access the remaining boards.
