Chapter 6. Configuration information and instructions
The following configuration programs come with the server:
v Setup utility
The Setup utility (formerly called the Configuration/Setup Utility program) is part
of the IBM System x 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 303.
v Boot Selection Menu program
The Boot Selection Menu program is part of the IBM System x 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.
v
IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools
that are designed for the server. Use this CD during the installation of the server
to configure basic hardware features, such as an integrated SAS adapter with
RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For
information about obtaining and using this CD, see “Using the ServerGuide Setup
and Installation CD” on page 308.
v
Integrated 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 311.
v
VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on the server models that
come with an installed USB embedded hypervisor flash device. The USB flash
device is installed in the USB connector on the system board. Hypervisor is
virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host
system at the same time. For more information about using the embedded
hypervisor, see “Using the embedded hypervisor” on page 312.
v Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 315.
v
LSI Configuration Utility
Use the LSI Configuration Utility to configure the integrated SAS/SATA adapter
with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For information
about using this program, see “Using the LSI Configuration Utility” on page 315.
The following table lists the server configurations and the applications that are
available for configuring and managing RAID arrays.
