*When you upgrade bios to new bios included HPT 2.31 bios, we highly
recommend you backup your system and data to an independent storage device
first. New HPT 2.31 bios may corrupt original RAID configuration created on old
bios occasionally. That means you may need to rebuild RAID configuration. If it
happens, all the data on RAID-0 will be gone!
* For RAID-1 user, please press "CTRL+H" to enter hpt37x setup.
* Please upgrade HPT 2.31 driver before upgrade bios.
