Chapter 8. Configuring Units

Unlocking Drives Configured on a 9500S

Controller

When drives are configured into a unit on a 9500S controller, they become

locked for use with 9500S series controllers.

If you want to use these drives on an older 3ware controller, a non-3ware

controller, or connect them directly to a motherboard ATA controller, you

must first unlock them.

You can unlock drives in the following ways:

R26;

In 3BM (3ware BIOS Manager), highlight the unit you want to unlock,

and press the r key (for remove). Then shut down the system.

R26;

In either 3BM or 3DM, delete the unit, as described under "Deleting a

Unit" on page 157. All data on the drives will be permanently deleted,

and the drives will be unlocked.

R26;

Boot to the operating system. Put a file system on the unit by formatting and partitioning it. Shut down the operating system cleanly. The drives will be unlocked
