Chapter 2. Configuring your server

The following configuration programs are provided with your server:

vConfiguration/Setup Utility program

The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in your server. 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. For information about using this utility program, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 16.

vIBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide program 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 20.

vBoot Menu program

The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS code in your server. Use it to temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence, overriding the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

vIntel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program

The Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the BIOS code in your server. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network startup option appears in your startup sequence. Enable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see “Enabling the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program” on page 27.

vEthernet controller configuration

For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 27.

vAdaptec® HostRAID™ configuration programs

–Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)

Use the Array Configuration Utility within the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs to configure the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller with integrated RAID and the devices that are attached to it. For more information about using these utility programs, see “Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)” on page 23.

–SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)
