Page: 64 / 112

Notes:
1. You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the
optional controllers.
2. To update the firmware and BIOS for an optional ServeRAID controller, you
must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID
option.
Using ServeRAID Manager in startable-CD mode
The information in this section focuses on using the ServeRAID Manager program
in startable-CD mode to configure your controller. For information about installing
ServeRAID Manager, see the documentation on the
IBM ServeRAID Support CD.
When you run the ServeRAID Manager program from the startable IBM ServeRAID
Support CD, you are using startable-CD mode, in which you can configure your
controller before you install your operating system.
To run the ServeRAID Manager program in startable-CD mode, turn on the server;
then, insert the
IBM ServeRAID Support CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the
ServeRAID Manager program detects an unconfigured controller and ready drives,
the program automatically starts the Configuration wizard, and a window similar to
that shown in Figure 1 opens.
Configuring the controller: You can use the Configuration wizard to configure
your controller. The Configuration wizard provides two configuration options:
Express and Custom. Express configuration automatically configures your controller,
and you can use Custom configuration to configure your controller manually.
