or unassign hot spares, locate, force online/offline, and rebuild after a physical disk failure.
• Enclosure Management—Displays attached enclosures, enclosure firmware revision and physical

Controller Management Menu

The Controller Management menu can be used to perform the following controller-level functions. Each
of these functions is its own selectable menu option.
• View Controller Information—Displays information about the controller.
• Change Controller Properties—Updates controller properties and/or restores factory defaults for the
controller.
NOTE: For PowerEdge R920 system using PERC H730P, the option will read Change link Speed

– Boot Error Handling: Handles the errors found at boot.
* Stop on errors: Interrupt the boot on all errors. Requires the user to either continue boot or
enter the BIOS Configuration Utility to resolve errors.
* Pause on errors: Interrupt the boot on serious errors. Requires the user to either continue boot
or enter the BIOS Configuration Utility to resolve errors.
* Ignore errors: The controller will take the default action for each error and will only halt boot
when continuing is impossible.
* Safe mode on errors: The system will continue booting as long as the boot volume is not on
this controller. Drives connected to the controller will be reported as unconfigured good drives
to the RAID management utilities upon a successful boot. No configuration changes will be
allowed, except to clear the controller configuration if desired. Rebooting the system will exit
safe mode, and drives will appear as foreign on the next boot; if problems remain the system
will enter safe mode again. If the boot volume is on this controller, boot will halt.
• Battery Management— Displays battery status and capacity information.
• Clear Configuration — Deletes all existing configurations on the controller.
• Manage Foreign Configuration—Displays import and/or clears foreign configurations.
• Save Controller Events—Saves a copy of the controller events file in the desired directory.

• Enable Security — Enables security on the controller via the desired security mode.
• Disable Security—Disables security on the controller.
• Change Security Key—Changes the security key or switches between security modes on the
controller.
