Using the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration Program

1.  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.

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.

3.  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'.)

4.  Use the Up Arrow (  ) or Down Arrow (  ) key to highlight the choice, then, press Enter
5.  Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
6.  Select Exit to leave the Main Menu.
