2 Press Alt-3 immediately to bring up the 3ware BIOS Manager (3BM).
Normally your 3ware configuration remains on-screen for just a few
seconds. However, if a unit has degraded, the screen indicates the
problem and remains on your screen longer.
3 If you plan to make changes to your configuration and need to backup
data before continuing, press ESC and do so now. Otherwise, press any
key to continue.

4 If you have more than one 9000-series controller in your system, a screen
lists the available boards. (See Figure 10.) In this case, highlight the board
with which you want to work and press Enter.
If you have more than 4 boards, you will only see four at first (only four
can be processed at a time). After you exit from 3BM, you will have an
opportunity to access the BIOS again, to access the next boards.
