Chapter 6. Configuring the server
The following configuration programs come with the server:
v Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the UEFI. Use it to configure
serial port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the
startup-device sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords.
v Boot Manager program
The Boot Manager program is part of the server firmware. Use it to override the
startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to
be first in the startup sequence.
v LSI Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS/SATA
controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For
information about using this program, see “Using the LSI Configuration Utility
program” on page 123
v ThinkServer EasyStartup program
This program simplifies the process of configuring your RDID controller and
device drivers. It is on the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD provided with your
server. For details, see “Using the EasyStartup DVD” on page 127.
v Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program
Use this program to specify where the network startup option is displayed in the
startup sequence.
v ThinkServer EasyManage products
ThinkServer EasyManage Core Server and ThinkServer EasyManage Agent work
together to provide centralized hardware and software inventory management
and secure automated system management through a single console. See
“Installing ThinkServer EasyManage software” on page 134.
v Integrated Management Module
Use the integrated management module (IMM) for configuration, to update the
firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and to
remotely manage a network.
v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the
integrated management module (IMM). IMM Premium is required to enable the
remote presence functions. When IMM Premium is installed in the server, it
activates the remote presence functions. Without IMM Premium, you will not be
able to access the network remotely to mount or unmount drives or images on
the client system. However, you will still be able to access the Web interface
without IMM Premium. You can order IMM Premium, if one did not come with
your server.
v Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controllers” on page 138.
