Field Description Possible Values Battery Backup Battery Backup module presence is detected at the time of POST and the results are displayed here. None Present Note: This field is not user configurable RAM Size Cache RAM memory is detected at the time of POST and the results are displayed here. 64M to 1G Note: This field is not user configurable Cluster Mode This field should be set to “Enabled’ if the adapter is used in a cluster. Disabled Enabled Initiator ID This field should be set to the desired SCSI ID if this adapter is not the primary adapter used in a cluster. 1 to 30 7 Rebuild Rate This field allows the user to determine the priority for the rebuild operation. This option selects the amount of system resources devoted to rebuilding failed disk drives. A higher percentage rate rebuilds drives faster, but can degrade the system performance. 0 to 100 30 Note: Setting the rebuild rate to 0 will prevent the array from rebuilding Flex RAID PowerFail Allows drive reconstruction to continue when the system restarts after a power failure. This feature uses 2MB of logical drive space for rebuild and reconstruction process tracking. Disabled Enabled Alarm Control This field allows the user to determine how the audible alarm behaves. The possible values here are ‘Disabled’, where the controller will not enter alarm state, ‘Enabled’, where the controller will enter alarm state and audibly alarm, and ‘Silence’, where the controller will enter alarm state but not audibly alarm. Disabled Enabled Silence Adapter BIOS This allows the user to set whether or not the Option ROM is loaded at the time of BIOS POST. If disabled the adapter BIOS control-G screen is not seen during POST. This must be enabled if the attached array is the boot volume. Disabled Enabled Set Factory Defaults This allows the user to return the adapter properties back to their original factory settings. The array configuration remains unchanged. No Yes Coercion Algorithm Drive coercion refers to the ability of the controller to recognize the size of the physical drives that are connected and then force the larger drives to use only the amount of space available on the smallest drive. Drive coercion as implemented in these RAID controllers also allows an option to map out a reserved space to compensate for slightly smaller drive sizes that may be added later. This option allows 16 MB, 256 MB, and 1 GB of drive capacity to remain unused. None 128MB-way 1G-way BIOS Stops on Error This allows the user to determine the behavior of the installed system upon encountering an BIOS POST RAID error. The possible values are ‘On’, where the system halts POST when RAID errors are encountered, and ‘Off’, where BIOS POST continues past any RAID errors. Off On BIOS Echoes Messages This allows the user to determine the visibility of RAID error messages. The possible values are ‘On’, where error message are displayed in the BIOS POST, and ‘Off’, where error messages are only displayed in the user interface. Off On BIOS ConfigAutoSelection This allows the user to resolve mismatched RAID configurations by determining from where the RAID configuration is drawn. Possible values are ‘User’, where the RAID configuration is drawn from what has been configured during the current user interface session, ‘NVRAM’, where the RAID configuration is drawn from adapter memory, and ‘Disk’, where RAID configuration is drawn from the on disk configuration. Disk NVRAM User Spinup Parameters This allows the user to determine how many hard drives spin up at a time. Setting this to other than automatic will slow POST times, but may be necessary on systems with large numbers of drives where those drives are seen intermittently. Automatic 2 per 6 sec 4 per 6 sec Fast initialization Initializes the logical drive by writing zeros to the first sector of the logical drive. The fast initialization completes in 3 seconds. Standard initialization writes zeros to the entire logical drive and take longer. Disabled Enabled PCI Delay Trans This allows the user to control this PCI 2.1 standard feature. The possible values are ‘Disabled’, where the controller cannot release the PCI bus until the transaction is complete, and ‘Enabled’, where the PCI bus can be released for other devices while the controller operation is being completed. Disabled Enabled Auto rebuild Enables the firmware to start a rebuild operation when a failed physical drive is replaced by another drive in the same slot. This feature is different than the hot spare capability. A hot spare drive is automatically used by the system to rebuild an array, without any operator intervention. On the contrary, Auto rebuild enables rebuilding the array only after the failed drive has been replaced. Disabled Enabled Class Emulation Mode Adapter BIOS type is detected at POST and displayed here. Mass Storage Note: This field is not user configurable

Note: Most controller (referred to as adapter in the software consoles) options can only be set by using the Intel® RAID BIOS Console. The only option that can be set using the Intel® RAID Web Console is Rebuild Rate.
