Rebuilding the RAID volume

When there is a failing hard disk drive in the volume, you need to replace the hard disk drive. Then, the volume will be automatically rebuilt. The rebuilding will be performed in the operation system.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provides an interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server supports auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operates at that rate and mode.

You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers.

Updating the firmware

The firmware in the server is periodically updated and is available for download on the Lenovo Support Web site. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to check for the latest level of firmware, such as the BIOS ROM file, BMC FW and RAID FW files.

When you replace a device in the server, you might have to either update the server with the latest version of the firmware that is stored in memory on the device or restore the pre-existing firmware from a diskette or CD image.

The BIOS ROM file is stored in flash on the system board.

The Ethernet firmware is stored in EEPROM on the Ethernet controller.

The onboard SATA software RAID firmware is integrated into the BIOS ROM on the system board.

The SAS RAID card firmware is stored in ROM on the SAS RAID card.

The Ethernet firmware is downloadable at http://www.lenovo.com/support.

Using the EasyUpdate Firmware Updater program

ThinkServer EasyUpdate Firmware Updater is a software application that enables you to maintain your system firmware up to date and helps you avoid unnecessary outages. Firmware Updater updates the server system and adapter firmware.
