  The following choices might result in loss of data due to changes in the configuration.


Initialize Configuration resets the ServeRAID controller settings to their factory defaults and sets all functional hard disk drives to the RDY state.

  Only one controller can support INT13 extensions.
Adapter and PCI Information displays the ServeRAID controller hardware and PCI register information, as shown in the following example screen.
