If you have more than 4 boards, you will only see four at first (only four

opportunity to access the BIOS again, to access the remaining boards.
Note:
If you have a combination of 7000/8000-series and 9000-series controllers in
your system, the 7000/8000-series controllers are not listed on the selection screen
shown in Figure 27. Instead, an additional BIOS summary will appear for the 7000/
8000-series controller, similar to Figure 26. To access the BIOS utility for the 7000/
8000-series board, press
Although similar to 3BM, some screens and features are different for the 7000/
8000-series. For detailed information, see the version of the 3ware Escalade ATA

If you have two 9000 series controllers that have different versions of the BIOS
installed, they will also appear in different BIOS summaries, and will launch different
versions of 3BM.
