About This Guide
3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
provides
instructions for configuring and maintaining your 3ware controller.
This guide assumes that you have already installed your controller in your
system. If you have not yet done so, see
3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID
Controller Installation Guide
for instructions.
How this Guide is Organized
There are often multiple ways to accomplish the same configuration and
maintenance tasks for your 3ware RAID controller. This manual includes
instructions for performing tasks using two tools: one at the BIOS level
(3ware BIOS Manager, or 3BM) and one that runs in a browser (3ware Disk
Manager 2, or 3DM 2). You can also perform many tasks at the command
line, using 3ware’s Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is described in a
separate manual, available from the 3ware software CD and from 3ware’s
website:
3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller CLI Guide
.
Basic information about using the two tools (3BM and 3DM), such as starting
the tool, navigating between screens, and so forth, is described in sections
about each of those tools: “3ware BIOS Manager (3BM)” on page 19 and
“3ware Disk Manager (3DM 2)” on page 27.
Step-by-step instructions for performing specific tasks are organized by tasks
throughout other sections of this guide. For example, the instructions for
“Creating a New Unit” on page 85 include information about how to create a
unit from 3DM, followed by how to create a unit from 3BM.
