IBM SC32-P020-00 Configuring your server, Configuration/Setup Utility, SCSISelect Utility program

Chapter 2. Configuring your server

The following configuration programs are provided with your server:

vConfiguration/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. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 14 for more information.

vSCSISelect Utility program

With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. Use this program to change default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive. See “Using the SCSISelect utility program” on page 20 for more information.

vServerGuide CD

The ServerGuide CD includes software setup and installation tools that are specifically designed for your IBM server. You can use this CD during the initial installation of your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your network operating system installation. See Chapter 3, “Using the ServerGuide CD” on page 23 for more detailed information.

vSCSI or RAID programs

The SCSI or RAID programs come with the optional SCSI or RAID adapter and with server models that have a SCSI or RAID adapter preinstalled. If your server has a SCSI or RAID adapter installed, you must use the SCSI or RAID Configuration program to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install your operating system.
