See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for
additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager. The
Installation Guide also contains instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities.
Notes:
1. The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities in your server supports
only RAID level 1.
2. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the
configuration method described in the instructions that come with that adapter to
view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.
3. To update the firmware and BIOS code for an optional ServeRAID controller,
you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the ServeRAID
option.
Before you install your operating system, you must configure the controller that is
attached to the hard disk drives. Use the configuration program on the
IBM
ServeRAID Support CD to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID
capabilities or to configure an optional IBM ServeRAID controller.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps network and provides full
duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of
data on the network. If the Ethernet port in the server supports auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate of the network (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and automatically operates at that rate, in full-duplex or half-duplex
mode, as appropriate.
You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. The
device drivers are available on the
Resource CD. For the latest device drivers and
information about configuring your Ethernet controller, go to the IBM Support Web
site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
Updating BIOS
Go to the IBM Support Web site, http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ for the latest
information about upgrading the BIOS for your server. The latest instructions are in
the documentation that comes with the update.
Note: After you complete the BIOS update, the old CMOS settings must be cleared
by a qualified service technician.
