a later time. If a spare is designated in the BIOS screen, the designa-
tion and configuration is in effect from this point on. The spare
drive will be displayed as a Hot Spare in the 3DM configuration
page.
3DM Configure Page
In order to designate an available drive as a spare from the 3DM
configure page, you must ensure that the drive is not a JBOD drive.
To designate a drive as a Hot Spare from this page, you must use
one of the two following methods:
1 Install the drive at the operating system level while the system is
powered. This should only be done with an approved and recog-
nized drive-carrier swap. If you do not use an approved and rec-
ognized drive-carrier swap, connecting interface cables and
power cables can/will crash the system from bus or power sup-
ply issues.
2 Shut down the system (Windows/Linux system shutdown);
install the drive and do not go into the BIOS screen. When 3DM
is invoked, the configuration page may show this drive as dead.
Select Issue a Removed Drive and then select Add Spare. The
drive should appear as a Hot Spare.
Invoking the 3ware BIOS tool
Reboot your system. During the boot phase, wait until you see a
screen similar to Figure 6.
