Viewing Information About a Controller
You can check the controller model, serial number, firmware and driver
versions, and the status of the 3ware RAID controller in your computer.
If you have more than one controller in your system, you can easily view
information about each one using 3DM2. If you are working at the BIOS level
in 3BM, you access each controller separately.
Note: Background task rate is also set for all units on a controller. For information
about setting the task rate, see “Setting Background Task Rate” on page 162.
Mac User Note: The 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM) is not supported for Mac OS.
Mac users should disregard any 3BM instructions throughout this chapter.
