F7 Import configuration information from drive. Press
this key to restart the server. Press this key to
import the configuration information from the drive
and to update the configuration information for the
ServeRAID controller. This choice is useful when
you replace the ServeRAID controller in an
existing ServeRAID subsystem.
You also might press F7 if you replace a whole
set of drives with drives that were configured in
another server with a ServeRAID controller.
Note: When you install drives in a server that
has no logical drives defined, the F7 choice will
not appear. The ServeRAID controller does not
contain any logical drives in its factory
configuration. Therefore, F7 will not appear. In
this case, do the following:
1. Restart the server and press Ctrl+I to start the
Mini-Configuration program. (See Chapter 7,
“Using the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration
program” on page 67 for more information.)
2. Select Advanced Functions .
3. Select Copy the Configuration from Drives
to the Controller and follow the instructions
on the screen.

automatically initialized. All data is lost and you must
reinstall the operating system and data.

“Using the advanced configuration functions” on
page 68 for more information.)
