3. Follow the instructions on the window. 4. Select settings to view or change. For more information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see the IBM 326m User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. Eserver Using the RAID configuration programs Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and ServeRAID Manager to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use these programs as described in this book. v Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to: - Perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive - View or change SCSI IDs for attached devices - Set SCSI protocol parameters on SCSI hard disk drives v Use ServeRAID Manager to: - Configure arrays - View your RAID configuration and associated devices - Monitor operation of your RAID controllers Detailed information about these programs is available in the User's Guide that comes with this server. Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers The two 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. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server. To find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/. 2. Under Search technical support, type 7969, and click Search. 3. In the Additional search terms field, type ethernet, and click Go. Note: To use the Wake on LAN features that appear on the configuration menu, your server must contain Wake on LAN hardware and software and your operating system must support Wake on LAN functions. The Ethernet controllers support optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets, load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance, 12 326m Type 7969: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controllers
The
two
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.
For
device
drivers
and
information
about
configuring
the
Ethernet
controllers,
see
the
Broadcom
NetXtreme
Gigabit
Ethernet
Software
CD
that
comes
with
the
server.
To
find
updated
information
about
configuring
the
controllers,
complete
the
following
steps.
Note:
Changes
are
made
periodically
to
the
IBM
Web
site.
The
actual
procedure
might
vary
slightly
from
what
is
described
in
this
document.
