Set Background Initialization Rate

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
The Set Background Initialization Rate task changes the amount of system resources dedicated to the background initialization task. See "Background
Initialization on PERC 3/SC, 3/DC, 3/QC, 4/SC, 4/DC, 4e/DC, 4/Di, 4e/Si, and 4e/Di Controllers" for more information on the background initialization task.
The background initialization rate, configurable between 0% and 100%, represents the percentage of the system resources dedicated to running the
background initialization task. At 0%, the background initialization will have the lowest priority for the controller, will take the most time to complete, and will
be the setting with the least impact to system performance. A background initialization rate of 0% does not mean that the background initialization is stopped
or paused.
At 100%, the background initialization will be the highest priority for the controller, will minimize the background initialization time, and will be the setting with
the most impact to system performance.
