Chapter 5. Configuring the storage product
This chapter provides the following information to help you configure the storage product:
• “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 37
• “Configuring RAID” on page 44
• “Updating the firmware” on page 46
Using the Setup Utility program
The Setup Utility program is part of the storage product firmware. You can use the Setup Utility program
to view and change the configuration settings of your storage product, regardless of which operating
system you are using. However, the operating system settings might override any similar settings in the
Setup Utility program.
Starting the Setup Utility program
To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. Connect the storage product to an ac power source and press the power button on the front panel to
turn on the storage product. See “Turning on the storage product” on page 35.
2. Press the F1 key as soon as you see the screen. Then, wait for several seconds, and the Setup Utility
program opens. If you have set a password, type the correct password to enter the Setup Utility
program. For password information, see “Using passwords” on page 40.
Viewing information in the Setup Utility program
The Setup Utility program menu lists various items about the system configuration. Select a desired item
to view information or change settings.
When working with the Setup Utility program, you must use the keyboard. The keys used to perform various
tasks are displayed on the right bottom pane of each screen. You also can press the F1 key for general help
about the keys. For most items, the corresponding help message is displayed on the right top pane of the
screen when the item is selected. If the item has submenus, you can display the submenus by pressing Enter.
Setup Utility program interface
Depending on the BIOS version of your storage product, some menu or item information might differ slightly
from the information in this topic.
Notes:
• The default settings already are optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not familiar
with. Do not change the value of unfamiliar items to avoid unexpected problems. If you consider changing
the storage product configuration, proceed with extreme caution. Setting the configuration incorrectly
might cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the storage product because of incorrect BIOS
settings, use the BIOS default settings jumper to restore the BIOS settings to the factory default settings.
See “System board jumpers” on page 29.
• If you have changed any hardware in the storage product, you might need to upgrade the BIOS and
the TSM firmware.
