   MegaServ

- This demonstrates that the appropriate service is running

#2
Restore factory default setting

C:\Program Files\MegaRAID\client\UpdateRAID.bat

#3
Customise a consistency check based on the the following command

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>megactrl -enChkCon -cons -h1 -d0 -w0
