Starting 3BM You see a screen similar to Figure 7, warning you that changing your disk array configuration may overwrite data on the disks. 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. Figure 7. Warning Message When you Start 3BM If a 3BM detects a degraded array, a red message box appears, to alert you to the problem. For information about rebuilding a degraded array, see "Rebuilding Units" on page 130 Note: If you have a combination of 7000/8000-series and 9000-series controllers in your system, the 7000/8000-series controllers are not listed on the selection screen shown in Figure 6. Instead, an additional BIOS summary will appear for the 7000/8000-series controller, similar to Figure 5. To access the BIOS utility for the 7000/8000-series board, press Alt-3 when the information for that controller appears, to enter the BIOS software. Although similar to 3BM, some screens and features are different for the 7000/8000-series. For detailed information, see the version of the 3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller User Guide that supports the 7000 and 8000 series controllers. If you have two 9000 controllers that have different versions of the BIOS installed, they will also appear in different BIOS summaries, and will launch different versions of 3BM. www.3ware.com 21
