Abstract
A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) card is coupled to a baseboard management controller (BMC) of an electronic device. The BMC is coupled to a host device, and includes a storage unit for storing data of RAID level. A method can include obtaining a boot command from the host device, and generating a control signal according to the stored RAID level in response to the boot command. The method further includes transmitting the control signal to the RAID card, to direct the RAID card to set the stored RAID level, testing whether the stored RAID level is correctly set, and storing data indicative of the tested result in a register of the RAID card. The method further includes determining whether the stored RAID level is correctly set in the RAID card according to the data in the register, and storing the determined result in the storage unit.
