Chapter 4. Configuring your server
The ServerGuide

CDs provide software setup tools and installation tools that are
specifically designed for your IBM server. Use these CDs during the initial
installation of your server to configure basic hardware features and to simplify your
network operating system installation. (See “Using the ServerGuide CDs” on
page 46 for more information.) The ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of
application programs, which you can install after your server is up and running.
In addition to the ServerGuide CDs, you can use the following configuration
programs to customize your server hardware:
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.
SCSISelect Utility
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.
ServeRAID programs
If you have a ServeRAID adapter installed in your server, you must use the
ServeRAID configuration program to define and configure your disk-array
subsystem before you install your operating system.
Refer to the User's Reference on the xSeries Documentation CD for detailed
instructions for using the configuration programs and ServerGuide CDs.
