Chapter 3. Configuring the server
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 100.
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 107.
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 109 and the
IMM User's Guide on the
IBM Web Site.
v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the
Integrated Management Module (IMM). The virtual media key is required to
enable the remote presence functions. When the optional virtual media key is
installed in the server, it activates the remote presence functions. Without the
virtual media key, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount
or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you will still be able
to access the Web interface without the virtual media key. You can order the
optional IBM Virtual Media Key, if one did not come with your server. For more
information about how to enable the remote presence function, see “Using the
remote presence capability and blue-screen capture” on page 111.
v
VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on the server models that
come with an installed the 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 111.
v
Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 113.
