Chapter 2. Configuring your server
The following configuration programs are provided with your server:
v Configuration/Setup Utility
This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes
with your server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port
assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup
sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. You also can use this
program to view the system configuration settings, for example, the number and
type of installed microprocessors, the amount of installed memory, or the BIOS
diagnostics version level. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on
page 16 for more information.
v LSI Logic Configuration Utility
With the built-in LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, you can configure the
integrated SCSI controller and the devices that are attached to it. See “Using the
LSI Logic Configuration Utility program” on page 21.
v ServeRAID Manager
The ServeRAID programs come with your server. If your server has a ServeRAID
controller installed, or if you are using the integrated SCSI controller with RAID
capabilities as a RAID controller, you must use the ServeRAID Manager program
to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install your
operating system. See “Using ServeRAID Manager” on page 26 for more
information.
v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
This provides software-setup tools and installation tools that are designed for
your server. Use this CD during the installation of your server to configure basic
hardware features, such as an integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities,
and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For information about
using this CD, see “Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page
22.
v Ethernet controller configuration process
To configure the integrated Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller” on page 27.
v Integrated System Management update and configuration
To update the integrated system management (ISM) firmware, see “Updating the
integrated system management firmware” on page 28.
