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. 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. Turn off the server. 2. Restart the server. 3. Press F12. 4. 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. Configuring the 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 ports in the server support 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. To find updated information about configuring the controller, 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 8485 or 8490 (depending on the machine type for your server model), and click Search. 3. In the Additional search terms field, type ethernet, and click Go.

When
you
click
an

in
the
ServeRAID
Manager
tree,
information
about
that

Using

The

configuration
program
that
you
can
use
to
temporarily
redefine
the
first
startup
device
without

program.
To
use
the
Boot

program,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Turn
off
the
server.
2.
Restart
the
server.
3.

Configuring
the
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
ports
in
the
server
support
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.
To
find
updated
information
about
configuring
the
controller,
complete
the
following
steps.
