Resetting The Passwords On An Sas Raid Module - IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module Installation And User Manual

If the firmware level of your RAID controllers is older than 1.2.x.xxx, you need to
change the password on both SAS RAID Modules at the same time. If the firmware
level of your RAID controllers is 1.2.x.xxx or newer, then changing the password
on one SAS RAID Module automatically changes the password on the other SAS
RAID Module.
