Unlocking Drives Configured on a 9000 Series Controller
When drives are configured into a unit on a 9000 series controller, they become locked for use with 9000 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:
- In 3BM (3ware BIOS Manager), highlight the unit you want to unlock, and press the r key (for remove). Then shut down the system.
- In either 3BM or 3DM, delete the unit, as described under Deleting a Unit. All data on the drives will be permanently deleted, and the drives will be unlocked.
