ServeRAID Startup Messages During power-on self-test (POST), the ServeRAID adapter or controller compares the stored configuration information to the configuration that is actually present. If a discrepancy exists, one or more status messages appear after POST completes but before the operating system loads. Notes 1. When the ServeRAID adapter or controller requires your input, a list of function keys will appear below the message. 2. Where the Action information tells you to start the IBM ServeRAID configuration program, insert the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility Diskette or CD into the appropriate drive; then, restart the server. The Action information also provides general information about the message. 3. Where SID and ch appear in these messages, SID shows the SCSI ID for the device and ch shows the channel to which the device is attached. 4. Where m or n appears in these messages, a number will appear in the actual message. The following is a list of messages associated with the ServeRAID subsystem.
