Viewing Information About a Controller

You can check the controller model, serial number, firmware and driver versions, and the status of the 3ware RAID controller in your computer.

If you have more than one controller in your system, you can easily view information about each one using 3DM. For example, if you have two 3ware Sidecars attached to your Power Mac G5, you will have a different 3ware controller for each one.

To see details about a controller in 3DM

1Start 3DM and log in as an administrator.

The 3DM Controller Summary page appears, listing all the 3ware controllers installed in your system.

The right-most column of the list shows the status of each controller.
