Descriptions of the choices available from the Advanced
Functions menu are as follows:
Attention
The following choices might result in loss of data
due to changes in the configuration.
Ÿ
Initialize Configuration resets the ServeRAID
controller settings to their factory defaults and sets all
functional hard disk drives to the RDY state.
Ÿ
Import Configuration from Drive(s) reads the most
common configuration information from the drives in
the server and copies it to the controller’s NVRAM
and to the controller’s EEPROM module.
Ÿ
Boot CD-ROM and INT13 Extensions is used to
configure the BootCd feature. When BootCd is
enabled, the ServeRAID controller attempts to start
(boot) from a CD, if the CD-ROM drive contains a
startable (boot-enabled) CD, and no other controller is
currently using INT13 extensions.
Attention:
Only one controller can support INT13 extensions.
Ÿ
Adapter and PCI Information displays the
ServeRAID controller hardware and PCI register
information, as shown in the following example
screen.
