7.Select the instructions for your operating system.

Using the Boot Menu program

The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Complete the following steps to use the Boot Menu program to change the startup sequence of your server:

1.Turn off the server.

2.Restart the server.

3.Press F12.

4.Select the startup device.

The next time the server is started, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Using the Adaptec HostRAID configuration programs

Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility (also referred to as IBM ServeRAID-7e) to add RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality to the integrated Serial ATA controller and the SCSI controller. Be sure to use these programs as described in this document. Use these programs to:

vConfigure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array

vView or change your RAID configuration and associated devices

Consider the following information when using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility program to configure and manage arrays:

vThe SCSI controller with integrated SCSI RAID (SCSI models) and the integrated Serial ATA controller (SATA models) with integrated SATA RAID supports RAID levels 0 and 1 with the option of having a hot-spare drive. Installing an optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels.

vYou cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the integrated Serial ATA controller with integrated RAID and the SCSI controller with integrated RAID.

vHard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. Drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.

vTo help ensure signal quality, do not mix drives with different speeds and data rates.

vTo update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID option.
