Controller Configuration Settings
Change Settings
To change the physical configuration of the controller, right click the controller icon and select
“Change Settings.” See Figure 83. The controller settings are described in the table below.
Table 20. Controller Settings
Setting Description
Cache Enables or Disables the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 cache. For optimum
performance the cache should be always On.
Delayed Write Enables or disables the write cache function of the Intel RAID Controller
SRCU32 cache. For optimum performance the write cache should be
always On.
BIOS The BIOSterms_bios of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 is needed to boot
the computer and the operating system from a host drive.
BIOS Warning Level Enables or disables the display of non-critical boot messages of the Intel RAID
Controller SRCU32 during the system boot phase.
Supported BIOS Drives Adjust the number of host drives which are supported by the Intel RAID
Controller SRCU32’s BIOS. This is the number (2 or 7) of host drives which
are available under DOS without loading a special driver.
Memory Test Configures the strategy and duration of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32
cache memory test during the boot phase. A more intensive test requires
more time.
Save Information
Right click the controller icon and select “Save Information.” See Figure 83.
This option opens a file dialog allowing you to specify the path and name of the Save Information
file. This file has a standard ASCII format and can be viewed or printed with a text editor or word
processing system.
The Save Information file contains all relevant information on the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32
(including firmware version, cache size, connector assignment, termination assignment), the
connected devices (for example, firmware version, SCSI parameters, selected transfer rate, number
of grown defects, last status information), the logical drives, array drives and host drives. Thus, it
represents an easy and effective way to create a detailed document of the Intel RAID Controller
SRCU32 (s) and disk array(s).
The Save Information file can also be very helpful for a remote diagnosis of a system. If a trained
support person has a copy of this file (by fax, by email), it can be used to bring the system back to
full operation.
