(note: You may see different bus, device and firmware version number depending on

which slot your S-CURE™ Data Protection Card card occupies, what peripherals you

have attached to your computer, and when you purchased your card). 

Hold down the “CTRL” and letter “N” (CTRL-N or ^N) key at the same time as soon as

the prompt appears to enter the PNY BIOS Setup utility. You will see a display similar to

that below.

The top part of the screen (Drive List) shows the available drives connected to the stor-

age processing card. A “U” in the far left column by a drive indicates that it is currently

unassigned and may be used either as a single drive or as part of an array.

The middle part of the screen (Array Map) shows the arrays currently defined, along with

the drives used to form the array and the array status. This line will indicate if there is an

array failure.

The lower part of the screen (Setup Menu) indicates the current user options. 

Creating Arrays (option 1)

Use this option to setup arrays.  

Follow the prompts to:

a.

Select an array number to setup

b.

Select the drives to be assigned to the array

c.

Select the corresponding array type

21

(Note: You will only be allowed to select a RAID type that is available for the number of

drives chosen. Drives will be assigned in the order they appear on the Drive List. Repeat

the above process for any remaining drives or arrays you wish to configure)

After you create the array, save the configuration using option 5. 

Deleting an Array (option 2)

Use this option to delete arrays previously configured. The drives will be freed up and will

appear as “U” or “un-configured” in the top part of the menu.

Interrupt 13 (option 3)

INT13 enable/disable turns off the part of the BIOS that registers the arrays as bootable

with the operating system. This can resolve some system boot conflicts, especially with

motherboards that employ SCSI drives as the main boot drive. For more information

about INT 13, see point 4 in the Troubleshooting section.

Reset Configuration (option 4)

This option will allow you to reset all of the drives or a single drive attached to the storage

processing card.  Resetting the drives will delete the array, clear all partitions and delete

all of the data on the drives.  To complete this operation, you need to save your configu-

ration using option 5.  To cancel the reset configuration operation and keep the original

configuration settings, you can use either option 6 or option 7 if you have not saved any

changes.

Save and Exit (option 5)

Selecting this option will allow you to save all your configuration changes, exit the utility

and continue with rebooting the system to Windows.

Reload Current Setup (option 6) 

Selecting this option will scan the drives and reload the configuration to the last saved

configuration during this session of the BIOS Setup utility.

Exit (option 7) 

Exits the S-CURE™ BIOS Setup utility. Using this option will not save any configurations

changes made during this session of the BIOS Setup utility.
