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/systems/support/. 2. Under Product support, click System x. 3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers. 4. Click IBM System x3200 M2 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the server. 5. From the BMC software, use the information on the CD to install and use the program. Using the Boot Menu program The Boot Menu program is a built in, menu-driven configuration program that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. To use the Boot Menu program, complete the following steps: 1. Restart the server. 2. Press F12. 3. Select the startup device. The next time the server is started, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Enabling the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network Startup optional devices occur in the startup sequence. Enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. To enable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet boot agent, complete the following steps: 1. From the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports. Select Planar Ethernet and set it to Enabled, if it is not already enabled. Press Esc to exit. 2. From the Start Options menu choice, press Enter and make sure that Planar Ethernet PXE/DHCP is set to Enabled. Select Startup Sequence Options and press Enter; then, set the network-planar device as the first startup device. 3. Press Esc twice to exit. 4. Select Save Settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu and press Enter to save your changes. Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet port in the server supports auto-negotiation, the controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operates at that rate and mode. 68 System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: User's Guide
