Server Utilities

Introduction

This chapter describes the utilities supplied with your server. Server
utilities include:

•

SCSI

Select Utility



This utility allows you to configure and view

settings of the installed Adaptec SCSI controllers and SCSI
devices.

•

RAID Configuration Utility



This utility is available for RAID-ready

servers only. This utility allows you to configure your RAID array.

•

Flash Utility



This utility allows you to update or restore your

server’s BIOS.

•

EPP3SMC.EXE



This device driver allows you to configure your

server’s parallel port as an enhanced parallel port (EPP).

•

System Configuration Utility (SCU)



This utility allows you to

configure your server when relocating, adding, or removing
EISA/ISA/PCI expansion boards and when changing your server’s
factory-defined settings.
