4.3.6 Configuring RAID

The CH121 V5 supports multiple types of RAID controller cards.

Use

Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker

to obtain information about the

compatible RAID controller cards.

The configuration method varies depending on the RAID controller card model. For
details, see

Huawei V5 Server RAID Controller Card User Guide

4.3.7 Configuring the BIOS

Scenarios

This section describes how to configure the BIOS of the compute node.

To configure the BIOS, perform the following operations:

Set the system boot sequence

Set PXE for a NIC

Set the BIOS password

Select a language
