The following conventions are used throughout this guide:
• 3BM refers to the 3ware BIOS Manager.
• 3DM and 3DM 2 both refer to the 3ware Disk Manager, version 2.
• In the sections that describe using 3DM, current controller is used to refer
to the controller which is currently selected in the drop-down list.
• Unit refers to one or more disks configured through 3ware to be treated by
the operating system as a single drive. Also known as an array. Array and
unit are used interchangeably throughout this manual.

The screenshots in this documentation are examples only, and may not exactly
reflect the operating system and browser you are using. 3ware software works
on a number of different operating systems, including Mac OS X,Microsoft
Windows®, FreeBSD®, and Linux®, and runs in a number of different
browsers. In addition, the version numbers shown in screenshots for drivers,
firmware, and software may not match your version. For the current released
and tested version number, see the latest release notes.
In addition, the fields and columns in 3DM 2 vary for different models of
3ware RAID controllers. If you have multiple controllers of different models,
you may notice some differences when switching between them in 3DM. For
example, when displaying information about the 9690SA controllers, 3DM
displays "VPorts" (for virtual port) on some screens while for earlier
controllers the label is "port."
