Lenovo 3724, 3836, 3809 Setup Utility, Boot Manager program, Ethernet controller configuration

Chapter 6. Configuring the server

The following configuration programs and utilities come with the server:

vSetup Utility

The UEFI (formerly BIOS) Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system firmware. Use it to change the startup-device sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. For information about using this program, see “Using the Setup Utility” on page 138.

vBoot 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. For more information about using this program, see “Using the Boot Manager program” on page 150.

vIntegrated 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. For information about using the IMM, see “Using the integrated management module” on page 155.

vRemote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the Integrated Management Module (IMM). The virtual media key is required to enable the remote presence functions. When the optional virtual media key is installed in the server, it activates the remote presence functions. Without the virtual media key, 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 the virtual media key. You can order the optional virtual media key, if one did not come with your server. For more information about how to enable the remote presence function, see “Enabling the remote presence feature” on page 156.

vEthernet controller configuration

For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 151.

vLSI 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 143.

The following table lists the different server configurations and the applications that are available for configuring and managing RAID arrays.
