Chapter 3. Configuring the server
You can use the following configuration programs to customize the settings for the
server hardware:
• Configuration/Setup Utility program
This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with
the server. You can use this program to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings,
change the drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords.
For information about using this utility, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program” on page 14.
• SCSISelect utility program
This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with
the server. You can use this program to configure the devices that are attached to
the integrated SCSI controller. Use this program to change default values and to
resolve configuration conflicts. For information about using this utility, see “Using
the SCSISelect utility program” on page 20.
• PXE Boot Agent Utility program
The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Boot Agent Utility program is part of
the BIOS code that comes with the server. You can use this program to select the
boot protocol and other boot options, to display the PXE setup prompt or to
disable it, to set the prompt display duration, and to select a power management
option. For information about using this utility, see “Using the PXE Boot Agent
Utility program” on page 21
Note: The RPL selection for the Boot Protocol option is not supported for this
server.
• ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs provide software setup 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 (NOS) installation. (See Chapter 4, “Using the
ServerGuide™ CDs,” on page 45 for more information.) The ServerGuide CDs
also contain a collection of application programs, which you can install after the
server is up and running.
• ServeRAID configuration program
This program comes with the optional ServeRAID adapters and with server
models that have a ServeRAID adapter preinstalled. If the server has a
ServeRAID adapter installed, you must use the ServeRAID configuration program
to define and configure the disk-array subsystem
before you install the operating
system. For more information about using the ServeRAID configuration program,
see “Using the ServeRAID™ configuration programs” on page 23 and also the
ServeRAID documentation that comes on the
xSeries 360 Documentation CD.
• Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration process
Configuration activities are also required for the Remote Supervisor Adapter. See
“Setting up the Remote Supervisor Adapter” on page 26 for information about
setting up and cabling the Remote Supervisor Adapter for use with an Advanced
System Management (ASM) network. For complete information about cabling,
configuring, and using the Remote Supervisor Adapter to manage the server
remotely, see the
xSeries 360 User’s Reference and the Remote Supervisor
Adapter User’s Guide on the xSeries 360 Documentation CD.
Note: These configuration programs are not designed to help you configure the
integrated Ethernet controller.
