b. Select the physical drive you want to designate as the hot-spare drive; then, click the icon to add the drive. 8. Click Next. The "Configuration summary" window opens. 9. Review the information that is displayed in the "Configuration summary" window. To change the configuration, click Back. 10. Click Apply; then, click Yes when asked if you want to apply the new configuration. The configuration is saved in the controller and in the physical drives. 11. Exit from the ServeRAID Manager program, and remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive. 12. Restart the computer. Viewing the configuration You can use ServeRAID Manager to view information about RAID controllers and the RAID subsystem (such as arrays, logical drives, hot-spare drives, and physical drives). When you click an object in the ServeRAID Manager tree, information about that object appears in the right pane. To display a list of available actions for an object, click the object and click Actions. To display available actions for an item, click the item in the ServeRAID Manager tree and click Actions. Configuring the 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 computer 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. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. For device drivers and information about configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Starting the SCSISelect utility program (some models) To start the SCSISelect utility program, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the computer. 2. When the > prompt appears, press Ctrl+A. If you have set an administrator password, you are prompted to type the password. 3. Use the arrow keys to make your selection. 4. When the prompt Would you like to configure the SCSI controller or run the SCSI disk utility? appears, make your selection and press Enter. 5. Use the arrow keys to make your selection. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the settings of the selected items; then, press Enter. Chapter 3. Installing software 51

Ethernet
controller
is
integrated
on
the
system
board.
It
provides
an
interface
for

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.
You

set
any
jumpers
or
configure
the
controller.
However,
you
must
install
a
device
driver
to
enable

device
drivers
and
information
about
configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controller,
