3.1 Starting the McBIOS RAID Manager

This section explains how to use the McBIOS RAID manager to

congure your RAID system. The McBIOS RAID manager is de-

signed to be user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program, residing

in the rmware, which allows you to scroll through various menus

and sub-menus and select among the predetermined conguration

options.

When starting a system with a SAS RAID controller installed, it will

display the following message on the monitor during the start-up

sequence (after the system BIOS startup screen but before the

operating system boots):

The McBIOS RAID manager message remains on your screen for

about nine seconds, giving you time to start the congurarion

menu by pressing Tab or F6. If you do not wish to enter congu-

ration menu, press ESC to skip conguration immediately. When

activated, the McBIOS RAID manager window appears showing a

selection dialog box listing the SAS RAID controllers that are in-

stalled in the system.

The legend at the bottom of the screen shows you what keys are

enabled for the windows.
