Option	Description
Drive’s Write Cache	When enabled, write cache is enabled on the disk drive. When
	disabled, write cache is not used on the disk drive. It is
	recommended that you disable write cache on the disk drive.
	Caution - When write cache is enabled, there is a slight possibility
	of data loss or corruption during a power failure.
Runtime BIOS	When enabled, the REM BIOS allows the REM to act as a bootable
	device. Disabling the BIOS allows another REM to act as a
	bootable device.
Automatic Failover	When enabled, the REM automatically rebuilds an array when a
	failed disk drive is replaced. When disabled, the array must be
	rebuilt manually.
Array Background	When enabled, the REM constantly verifies a redundant array.

	Default is disabled.
BBS Support	When enabled in systems that support BBS, the REM is presented
	as a bootable device in the BIOS.
Array-Based BBS	When enabled in systems that support BBS, the REM presents
Support	attached bootable devices up to the BIOS for boot device selection.
	This is relevant for logical arrays. Default is disabled.
Physical Drives	When enabled, connected disk drives are displayed during system
Display During	Power On Self Test (POST). Displaying the disk drives adds a few
