Configuring Units In either 3BM or 3DM, delete the unit, as described under "Deleting a Unit" on page 103. All data on the drives will be permanently deleted, and the drives will be unlocked. Boot to the operating system. Put a file system on the unit by formatting and partitioning it. Shut down the operating system cleanly. The drives will be unlocked. Adding a Drive through 3DM If you have a hot-swap carrier, you can add a drive to your system and make it available through 3DM without powering down the system. Without hot swap carriers, you should not add a drive via 3DM. Simply power down to add the applicable drives. Refer to the 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller Installation Guide for more details. Warning: Physically adding a drive without a hotswap carrier and without powering down your system can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and the drive To add a drive through 3DM when you have hot-swap carriers 1 Connect the drive physically to the controller. 2 In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance. 3 On the Maintenance Page, click Rescan Controller.
