This section describes how to view details about the controller, check its
status, and change configuration settings that affect the controller and all of
the drives connected to it. It is organized into the following sections:
Viewing Information About a Controller

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. For example, if you have two 3ware
Sidecars attached to your Power Mac G5, you will have a different 3ware
controller for each one.
To see details about a controller in 3DM
1 Start 3DM and log in as an administrator.
The 3DM Controller Summary 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 75.
