Using ServeRAID Manager
You can use the ServeRAID Manager program, provided on the IBM ServeRAID
Support CD, to:
v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
v
Restore a SCSI hard disk to factory-default settings, erasing all data
v View your RAID configuration and associated devices
v
Monitor operation of your RAID controllers
The ServeRAID Manager program operates in two ways:
v Startable-CD mode
v As an installed software program
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 for your server 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. Installing an optional ServeRAID-5i controller provides
additional RAID levels.
2. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the
configuration method supplied with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI
settings for attached devices.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. This controller provides
an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks and
provides full duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). You do not need to set
any jumpers or configure the controller for your operating system before you use
the Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable your
operating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided
on the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD.
When you connect your server to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically
detects the data-transfer rate (10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps) on the network
and then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the
Ethernet ports that your server is connected to support auto-negotiation, the Gigabit
Ethernet controller will set the appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet
controller will adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard
Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T), half duplex
(HDX), or full duplex (FDX). The controller supports half-duplex (HDX) and
full-duplex (FDX) modes at both speeds.
For updated information on configuring your Ethernet controller, go to the IBM
Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support and navigate to the area for
your specific server type. From this area you can download documentation, the
most current device drivers for your server, and software that supports advanced
networking functions. After downloading, run the downloaded program
launch.exe .
