Configuring the server
The following configuration programs are provided with
your server:
v
Configuration/Setup Utility
This program Configuration/Setup Utility is part of the
basic input/output system ( BIOS ) that comes with your
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 program” on
page 50 for more information.
v 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 your server to configure the server
hardware and simplify your network operating system
installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a
collection of application programs, which you can install
after your server is up and running. See “Working with
adapters” on page 67 for more detailed information.
v
ServeRAID programs
The ServeRAID programs come with the optional
ServeRAID adapters and with server models that have a
ServeRAID adapter preinstalled. If your server has a
ServeRAID adapter installed, you must use the
ServeRAID Configuration program to define and
configure your disk-array subsystem
before you install
your operating system. See “Working with adapters” on
page 67 for more detailed information.
