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 3DM. If you are working at the BIOS level
in 3BM, you access each controller separately.

To see details about a controller in 3DM

Start 3DM and log in as an administrator.

The 3DM Unit Information page appears, listing all the 3ware controllers
installed in your system.

The right-most column of the list shows the status of each controller.

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 172.
