Chapter 3. Configuring the server
The following configuration programs and utilities come with the server:
v Setup utility
The Setup utility program is part of the basic input/output system firmware. Use it
to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the startup-device sequence,
set the date and time, and set passwords. For information about using this
program, see “Using the Setup utility.”
v Boot Manager program
The Boot Manager program is part of the server firmware. Use it to override the
startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to
be first in the startup sequence. For more information about using this program,
see “Using the Boot Manager program” on page 57.
v
Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 58.
v
LSI Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS/SATA
controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For
information about using this program, see “Using LSI Configuration Utility
program” on page 58
The following table lists the different server configurations and the applications
that are available for configuring and managing RAID arrays.

v BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU) program
Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying BIOS
settings. Use the BCU program online or out of band to modify BIOS settings
from the command line without the need to restart the server to access the Setup
utility. For more information about using this program, see “BIOS Configuration
Utility program” on page 62.
Using the Setup utility

v
View configuration information
v
View and change assignments for devices and I/O ports
v Set the date and time
v
