Chapter 7. Configuring the server

The following configuration programs come with the server:

vSetup Utility

The Setup Utility (formerly called the Configuration/Setup Utility program) is part of the server 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 110.

vBoot Menu program

The Boot Menu 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.

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 123.

vRemote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the integrated management module (IMM). These features allow you to access the network remotely and to mount or unmount drives or images on the client system. For more information about how to enable the remote presence function, see “Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture” on page 125.

vAdvanced Settings Utility (ASU) program

Use this program as an alternative to the Setup Utility for modifying UEFI settings and IMM settings. Use the ASU program online or out-of-band to modify UEFI settings from the command line without the need to restart the server to access the Setup Utility. For more information about using this program, see “Advanced Settings Utility program” on page 126.

vEthernet controller configuration

For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 122.

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 LSI Configuration Utility program” on page 119.

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