3.9 Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility
program
The Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. You can use it
to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network
startup option appears in the startup sequence. Enable and disable the Broadcom Gigabit
Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.
3.10 Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
controller
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for
connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX)
capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If
the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the
data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex
or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a
device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and
information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme II
Gigabit Ethernet Software CD.
3.11 Configuring RAID arrays
Through the Setup utility, you can access utilities to configure RAID arrays. The specific
procedure for configuring arrays depends on the RAID controller that you are using. For
details, see the documentation for your RAID controller. To access the utility for your RAID
controller, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the prompt <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set an administrator
password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Setup utility menu. If
you do not type the administrator password, a limited Setup utility menu is available.
3. Select System Settings
→
Adapters and UEFI drivers.
4. Press Enter to refresh the list of device drivers.
5. Select the device driver for your RAID controller and press Enter.
6. Follow the instructions in the documentation for your RAID controllers.
