Configuring the server
The following configuration programs are provided with the server:
v
Configuration/Setup Utility
This program is part of the
basic input/output system

the server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port
assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup
sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. See “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” for more information.
v
SCSISelect Utility
With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices
attached to the integrated SCSI controller. See “Using the SCSISelect utility

ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools specifically
designed for IBM Netfinity servers. You can use these CDs during the initial
installation of the server to configure the server hardware and simplify the
