Initiator ID Identifying number for the card. You can change the
Initiator ID only when you are in cluster mode. You cannot
change the ID while in standard mode. The ID can be a
number from 0 to 15. We recommend that you use 6 or 7.
When you are in standard mode, the ID is always 7.
Rebuild Rate Selects the rebuild rate for drives attached to the selected
adapter. The rebuild rate is the percentage of system
resources dedicated to rebuilding a failed drive. A rebuild rate
of 100 percent means the system is totally dedicated to
rebuilding the failed drive. The default is 30 percent.
Spinup
Parameters
Sets the timing for spinning up the hard disk drives in the
computer. The options are Automatic, 2 per sec, 4 per sec, or
6 per sec.
FlexRAID
PowerFail
Enables or disables the FlexRAID PowerFail feature. This
option allows drive reconstruction, rebuild, and check
consistency to continue when the system restarts because of
a power failure, reset, or hard boot.
Alarm Control Enables, disables, or silences the onboard alarm tone
generator. The alarm sounds when there is a change in a drive
state, such as when a drive fails or when a rebuild is
complete.
Adapter BIOS Enables or disables the BIOS on the adapter. If the boot
device is on the RAID controller, the BIOS must be enabled;
otherwise, the BIOS should be disabled, or it might not be
possible to use a boot device elsewhere.
Cluster Mode Enables or disables cluster mode. Cluster mode allows the
controller to operate as part of a cluster. When you disable
cluster mode, the system operates in standard mode. In
addition, when you enable cluster mode, the system
automatically disables the BIOS.
NOTE: The Cluster Mode field appears only for
controllers that support clustering.
Battery Backup Indicates whether the battery backup is present or absent.
NOTE: The Battery Backup field appears only for
controllers that support this feature.
