Chapter 4. Configuring your server
The following configuration programs are provided with your server.
v Configuration/Setup Utility
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
( BIOS ) code 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.
For information about how to start this utility, see “Using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program” on page 32.
v SCSISelect Utility program
With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that
are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. 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 how to start this utility, see “Using
the SCSISelect Utility program” on page 32.
v
ServerGuide
™
CD
The ServerGuide CD includes software setup and installation tools that are
specifically designed for your IBM server. You can use this CD during the initial
installation of your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your
network operating system installation. See “Using the ServerGuide CD” on
page 33 for more information.
v SCSI or RAID programs
If you install an optional SCSI or redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
adapter, you must use the SCSI or RAID configuration program to define and
configure your disk-array subsystem before you install your operating system.
Attention: See the User’s Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for
detailed instructions for using the configuration programs and ServerGuide CD.
