2. In the Main Tree, click the first ServeRAID controller that you want to
configure.
Attention
The ServeRAID controller should be initialized only one time, when the controller is first
installed. Initializing the controller removes all configuration information from NVRAM. This
information includes the SCSI IDs, the Controller host ID and the Cluster partner host ID,
and the array information. This point is especially important if the Windows NT or Windows
2000 system startup drive is attached to the IBM ServeRAID controller. If the initialization
occurs after the startup drive array has been created, the array information will be removed
and the system will no longer start in Windows NT or Windows 2000.
If you already have logical drives defined that you want to keep, go to step 6 on page 46.
The steps before step 6 on page 46 will cause loss of data by deleting all logical drives
already defined.
3. Click Actions

4. If a confirmation window opens, click Yes. When the operation is complete, a
message displays at the bottom of the window indicating the restore to factory
default settings was successful.
5. Repeat step 2 on page 45 through step 4 for the second ServeRAID controller.
