Using the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration Program
Using the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration Program
The ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program is a quick way
to view the ServeRAID controller settings and to perform a
limited set of the configuration functions. The ServeRAID
Mini Configuration program is stored in read-only memory
(ROM).
To access the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program:
- Start the server. If the system is already turned on,
press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the server.
Each time the system starts, the ServeRAID
controller performs a power-on self-test (POST). The
POST checks the configuration information for the
ServeRAID controller and for the configured hard disk
drives, to see if any changes have occurred.
- If POST does not detect changes in the
configuration or encounter any hardware
problems, continue with step 2.
- If POST detects changes in the configuration or
encounters a hardware problem, messages
appear on the screen. If this occurs, see
'Symptom-to-FRU Index' and
correct the problem, then, return here and
continue with step 2.
- Press Ctrl+I immediately when a screen similar to the
following Mini-Configuration screen appears.
Note:
In the precending figure, the version number will be replaced by the verion number of the
Mini-Configuration program, the MM/DD/YY will be replaced by the date of the version of the
Mini-Configuration program, and NNNNN will be replaced by the version number of the firmware.
- If you have more than one ServeRAID controller
installed, a selection screen appears. Use the Up
Arrow (
) or Down Arrow (
) key to select the
choice, then, press Enter. Otherwise, the Main Menu
of the Mini-Configuration program appears, similar to
the following screen.
Descriptions of the choices available from the Main Menu are as follows:
- View Adapter Status displays the current status of the ServeRAID controller.
(See 'Viewing the ServeRAID II Controller Status'.)
- View Configuration displays the current configuration information for the
ServeRAID controller. (See 'Viewing the Configuration'.)
- Advanced Functions lets you initialize the configuration (that is, reset the
ServeRAID controller settings to their factory defaults), import the configuration
from drives, enable and disable the Boot CD-ROM and INT13 extensions, and view the controller
and PCI information. (See 'Using the Advanced Configuration Functions'.)
- Use the Up Arrow (
) or Down Arrow (
) key to highlight the choice, then, press Enter
- Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
- Select Exit to leave the Main Menu.
