6.1.1 Monitoring the ServeRAID M5000 Series Battery Assembly with
the WebBIOS Configuration Utility
The WebBIOS CU is a web-based utility for configuring and managing
RAID volumes. Its operation is independent of the operating system
because the utility resides in the MegaRAID BIOS. Follow these steps to
monitor the status of an installed battery assembly with the WebBIOS
utility:
1. Boot the system.
2. Start the WebBIOS CU by pressing CTRL+H when the prompt
appears on the screen during boot-up.
The WebBIOS CU main menu screen appears.
3. Click Controller Properties on the WebBIOS CU main menu
screen.
The first Controller Properties screen appears, as shown in the
following figure.
