Monitoring the Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup Unit
Three different utilities can be used to monitor the RMFBU: StorCli, RAID Web Console 3 and HII. This section
only describes how to use HII for this purpose. For details on how to monitor using the other utilities,
consult the Intel® RAID Utilities User Guide.

Monitoring the RMFBU with the Human Interface Infrastructure.
The Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) can be used to configure disk arrays and logical drives. It is
independent of the operating system and can be accessed at server start-up through the Setup BIOS. The HII
can only be accessed when the system is configured for UEFI boot mode. The HII can also be used to monitor
the MFBU.
