Chapter 2. Configuration
The following configuration programs are provided with your server:
v Configuration/Setup Utility
This 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. You also can use this
program to view the system configuration settings, for example, the number and
type of installed microprocessors, the amount of installed memory, or the BIOS
diagnostics version level. See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” for
more information.
v
LSI Logic Configuration Utility
With the built-in LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, you can configure the
integrated SCSI controller and the devices that are attached to it. See “Using the
LSI Logic Configuration Utility program” on page 17.
v
ServeRAID Manager
The ServeRAID programs come with your server. If your server has a ServeRAID
controller installed, or if you are using the integrated SCSI controller with RAID
capabilities as a RAID controller, you must use the ServeRAID Manager program
to define and configure your disk-array subsystem
before you install your
operating system. See “Using ServeRAID Manager” on page 22 for more
information.
v ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD provides software setup tools and
installation tools that are specifically designed for your IBM server. Use this CD
during the initial installation of your server to configure basic hardware features
and to simplify your operating system installation. See “Using the ServerGuide
Setup and Installation CD” on page 18.
v Ethernet controller configuration process
To configure the integrated Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller” on page 22.
v Integrated System Management update and configuration
To update the integrated system management (ISM) firmware, see “Updating the
integrated system management firmware” on page 23.
v

IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to
centrally manage xSeries servers; IBM NetVista
™
, IntelliStation
®
, and ThinkPad
®
computers; and non-IBM Intel-microprocessor-based systems. IBM Director
automates tasks such as inventory-taking, monitoring of environmental sensors
(such as temperature, voltage and fans), alerting, and system-health information.
For more information and instructions about IBM Director, see the IBM Director
User’s Guide on the CD that comes with your server.
