Checking the RAID 1 volume consistency

Checking the consistency of the RAID volume helps you find the problem about inconsistency volume data
and then automatically restore this problem. This function only applies to RAID 1.

The controller can only report the inconsistency or report and fix the inconsistency. From the main menu,
select Objects Adapter Chkconstate to set the controller.

To check the consistency of the RAID 1 volume, do the following:

1. Select Management Check Consistency from the main menu and press Enter. The Check

Consistency menu opens.

2. Use the space key to select the desired RAID volume.

Note: Only the RAID 1 volume can be selected. If you select other RAID volume, for example RAID 0, a
message will be displayed, showing this volume cannot be selected.

3. Press F10. When prompted, select Yes to start checking the consistency.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provides an interface for connecting
to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables
simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server supports
auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and
duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operates at that rate and mode.

You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to
enable the operating system to address the controllers.

Updating the firmware

The firmware in the server is periodically updated and is available for download on the Lenovo Support Web
site. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to check for the latest level of firmware, such as the BIOS
ROM file, BMC FW and RAID FW files.
