To create a RAID unit or units

Install your 3ware RAID controller as described in the installation guide
for the controller. You can download an electronic version from

Use 3BM (3ware BIOS Manager) to create one or more RAID units on
the 3ware RAID controller. You can access 3BM by pressing Alt-3 during
system startup.
Instructions for creating units using 3BM are available in Chapter 3,
"First-Time RAID Configuration Using 3BM" in the 3ware SAS/SATA
RAID Software User Guide.
You can also use the CLI to create RAID units. For details, see the 3ware
