Serial Number
The Serial Number option Enables you to change the serial number. HP recommends that you do
not change this number, unless you are replacing a system board. When the Serial Number option
is chosen, a warning appears:
The serial number should ONLY be modified by qualified service personnel.
This value should always match the serial number located on the chassis.
Product ID
The Product ID option sets the system product ID, which is found on the product ID sticker on the
chassis. When the Product ID option is chosen, a warning appears:
The Product ID should ONLY be modified by qualified service personnel.
This value should always match the Product ID located on the chassis.
Drive Write Cache
The Drive Write Cache option controls the state of the write cache of the drives attached to the
supported controller. When the Drive Write Cache option is chosen, a warning appears:
Enabling Drive Write Cache may result in data loss or data corruption
if an unexpected power loss occurs.
SATA Software RAID
The SATA Software RAID feature enables RAID functionality (RAID 0 or RAID 1) for the embedded
SATA controller in the system. When the SATA Software RAID option is chosen, a warning appears:
Enabling Software RAID will result in data loss or data corruption on
existing SATA drives. Please backup all drives before enabling this
feature.
