Chapter 3. Configuring the computer
The following configuration programs are available to configure your computer:
v Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
(BIOS) code in your computer. You can use this program to configure serial- and
parallel-connector assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change
the device startup sequence, set the date and time, set passwords, and set the
chassis-intrusion detector. For information about using this utility program, see
“Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 22.
v Boot Menu program
The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS code in your computer. Use it to
temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence, overriding the
startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
v
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent
The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS code
in your computer. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device,
and you can customize where the network startup option appears in your startup
sequence. You enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Boot Agent from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see
“Enabling the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent” on page 26.
v
Adaptec
®
HostRAID
™
configuration programs
– Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)
Use the Array Configuration Utility within the Adaptec RAID Configuration
Utility programs to configure the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller with
integrated RAID and the devices that are attached to it. For more information
about using these utility programs, see “Using the Adaptec RAID
Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)” on page 27.
– SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)
Use the SCSI HostRAID feature of SCSISelect Utility program to configure the
integrated SCSI controller with integrated RAID and the devices that are
attached to it. For more information about using this utility program, see
“Using the SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)” on page 28.
v
ServeRAID Manager
ServeRAID
™
Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM
Director extension. If a ServeRAID controller is installed in your computer, use
ServeRAID Manager to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before
you install your operating system. For information about using this program, see
“Using ServeRAID Manager” on page 29.
v Ethernet controller configuration
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 31.
v SCSISelect Utility program (some models)
If your computer has a SCSI adapter installed, you can use the SCSISelect Utility
program to configure devices that are attached to the SCSI adapter. Use this
program to change default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a
low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive. For information about using this utility
program, see “Using the SCSISelect Utility program (some models)” on page 31.
