Chapter 4. Using IBM Fast!UTIL
This chapter provides detailed configuration information for advanced users
who want to customize the configuration of the IBM Eserver BladeCenter
Fibre Channel Expansion Card when it is installed in a BladeCenter HS20 or
HS40 blade server. You can configure the I/O expansion card using the
Fast!UTIL utility.
Note: This chapter does not apply to the IBM ERserver BladeCenter JS20 Fibre
Channel Expansion Card. See Chapter 5, “Using the IBM FAStT MSJ
utility,” on page 23 for additional information about customizing the
configuration of the expansion card when it is installed in a BladeCenter
JS20 blade server.
Starting Fast!UTIL
Start or restart the blade server. On the blade server control panel, press the
keyboard/video/mouse select button. To access Fast!UTIL, press Ctrl+Q
during the expansion card BIOS initialization (it might take a few seconds for
the Fast!UTIL menu to be displayed). The expansion card has dual adapter
ports that can be configured separately with Fast!UTIL. After changing the
settings that are described in the “Configuration Settings menu options”
section, Fast!UTIL restarts the blade server to enable the new parameters.
Important: If the configuration settings are incorrect, the expansion card might
not function correctly. Do not modify the default configuration settings unless
you are instructed to do so by an IBM technical-support representative or in
the installation instructions.
