3.1 Starting the McBIOS RAID Manager
This section explains how to use the McBIOS Setup Utility to con-
figure your RAID system. The BIOS Setup Utility is designed to be
user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program, residing in the firm-
ware, which allows you to scroll through its various sub-menus and
select among the predetermined choices.
When starting the system with an SATA RAID controller installed,
the start-up sequence displays the following message appears on
your monitor:
The McBIOS configuration manager message remains on your
screen for about nine seconds, giving you time to start the config-
ure menu by pressing Tab or F6. If you do not wish to enter con-
figuration menu, press <ESC> to skip configuration. When acti-
vated, the McBIOS window appears showing a selection dialog box
listing the SATA RAID controller that are installed in the system.
The legend at the bottom of the screen shows you what keys are
enabled for the windows.
