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 the User's Guide. 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 using the RAID configuration programs is available in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Updating the integrated service processor firmware To update only the firmware for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II and the integrated service processor, download the firmware update package for the server from the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ and follow the instructions in the text file on the Web site. To update the server BIOS, device drivers, and other firmware including the firmware for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II and integrated service processor, download and apply the system service package for the server. Detailed information is available in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the I/O 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 your 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 need 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 your server. For updated information about configuring the controllers, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Remote Supervisor Adapter II The Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be used on an Advanced System Management (ASM) network so that you can manage the server remotely. For more information about how to configure and use an ASM network to manage the server remotely through the Web-based interface or the text-based interface, see the User's Guide and the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide, both of which can be found on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controllers
The
Ethernet
controllers
are
integrated
on
the
I/O
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
your
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
need
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
your
server.
