3ware BIOS Manager (3BM) This section describes the basics of using 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM), one of the tools you can use to configure and maintain the units connected to your 3ware 9000-series RAID controller. For information about doing particular tasks in 3BM, refer to the later sections in this guide. Note: While the basics of working with 3BM for the 9000 series are similar to working with the 3ware Disk Array Configuration utility for the 7000 and 8000 series, the screens have changed, and some additional features are provided. If you have a 7000- or 8000series controller, the BIOS screens you see will be somewhat different than those shown in this chapter. For instructions specific to the BIOS manager for 3ware 7000- and 8000-series controllers, see the 3ware Escalade ATA User Guide for 7000 & 8000 Series Controllers, available from the 3ware website, http:// www.3ware.com/support/userdocs.asp This section is organized into the following topics: „ "Starting 3BM" on page 20 „ "Working in the 3BM Screens" on page 22 „ "Displaying Advanced Details" on page 25 „ "Getting Help While Using 3BM" on page 25 „ "Exiting the 3BM Configuration Utility" on page 26 www.3ware.com 19
