Select this option to run the ServeRAID Adapter self test. Low-level formatting of drives is provided as well as a drive media test.

￿7￿ Init/View/Synchronize Config

This option lets you initialize the configuration of the adapter back to the factory defaults. The ServeRAID Adapter stores critical configuration information in a number of locations to ensure the data is not lost:

•

•

•

•

NVRAM on the adapter EEPROM on the adapter

On each online (ONL) or rebuilt (RBL) drive On diskette (upon request)

This option lets you view each of these stored configurations, and when a discrepancy exists, you can select which one to use as a basis for synchronization.

The RAID adapter also maintains a list of all changes to its RAID configuration. A power-on change list, wrong SCSI ID list, and an unidentified drive list are updated when devices are added or moved. Changes to the devices′ state also affect these list. This option allows the user to view all of this information.

￿8￿ Display/Change Adapter Params

Select Display/Change Adapter Params to display the adapter′s status or to write a new adapter configuration Host ID. The adapter′s SCSI channel ID and speed may also be changed.
