Configuring the Advanced System
Management hardware without Netfinity
Manager
ServerGuide includes a configuration utility that enables
you to configure the Advanced System Management
(ASM) PCI Adapter or Processor without using Netfinity
Manager and the Advanced System Management service.
With the configuration utility, you can:
Ÿ
Set Alert Settings to enable or disable alert functions
Ÿ
Configure Dial In/Out settings
Ÿ
Set General Settings, including the Name and
Number that identifies this Advanced System
Management hardware, the date and time reported by
the ASM hardware, assorted time-out values, and
schedule a time for the system to be turned on
Ÿ
Configure Modem settings
Ÿ
Configure Network settings
You can start the configuration utility in one of two ways:
Ÿ
Access the server system partition and start the
Advanced System Management Configuration Utility.
If you used ServerGuide to configure the Netfinity
server and creation of a system partition is supported
on the server (see
Learn About ServerGuide for more
information), the Advanced System Management
Configuration Utility is available from the the system
partition menu. Restart the server and press Alt+F1
at the proper time indicated during POST.
Ÿ
Start the system using an Advanced System
Management Configuration Utility diskette.
If the system does not have a system partition, you
can use ServerGuide Diskette Factory to create an
Advanced System Management Configuration Utility
diskette. After you create this diskette, place it in the
server diskette drive and then restart the server. The
configuration utility starts automatically.
To use the configuration utility:
1. Insert the Advanced System Management CD-ROM
into the CD-ROM drive and restart the system. If the
system does not start from the CD-ROM, use
POST/BIOS setup to configure the CD-ROM drive as
a boot device. Please refer to the Server Library that
was included with the system for additional
information.
2. After the system starts, the main option menu will
open. The main menu contains the following
selections:
Ÿ
Hardware Status and Information
Ÿ
Configuration Settings
Ÿ
Exit Utility
