Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program
The Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. You
can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize
where the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. Enable and
disable the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.
To enable the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program, complete the following
steps:
1. From the Setup utility main menu, select
Devices and I/O Ports
and press
Enter.
2. Select
Enable/Disable onboard device(s)
and press Enter.
3. Select
Ethernet
and press Enter.
4. Select
Enable
and press Enter.
5. Exit to the main menu and select
Save Settings
.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an
interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception
of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation,
the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and
automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. To
find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following
steps.

Using the LSI Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant array
of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described in
this document. Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to perform the following
tasks:
v
Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive
v
Create an array of hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive
v
Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives
The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays.
You can use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure RAID 1 (IM), RAID
1E (IME), and RAID 0 (IS) for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a
different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that
comes with the adapter to view or change settings for attached devices.
