Chapter 4. Configuring the blade server
Use this information for details about the configuration requirements of the blade
server.
Before you continue, make sure that the blade server has the latest version of
firmware code. For additional information, see “Firmware updates” on page 41.
The following configuration programs come with the blade server:
v
Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output
system (BIOS). Use it to change system settings, such as interrupt requests (IRQ),
date and time, and password. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program” for more information.
v
LSI Logic Configuration Utility program
The LSI Logic Configuration Utility program is part of the BIOS. Use it to set the
device scan order and to set the storage drive controller IDs. See “Using the LSI
Logic Configuration Utility program” on page 43 for more information.
v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools
that are designed for the blade server. Use this CD during the installation of the
blade server to configure basic hardware features and to simplify the installation
of the operating system. For information about using this CD, see “Using the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 39.
v
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program
The PXE boot agent utility program is part of the BIOS. Use it to select the boot
protocol and other boot options and to select a power-management option. For
information about using this utility program, see “Using the PXE boot agent
utility program” on page 41.
The IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.20 program is available
for purchase. You can use IBM RDM Version 4.20 (or later) to install a BIOS code
update onto a blade server by following the instructions in the documentation that
comes with the RDM program. To determine whether an operating system
supports the RDM program or for updated information about RDM and
information about purchasing the software, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/
