v Remote Supervisor Adapter configuration process Configuration activities are also required for the Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA. See "Remote Supervisor Adapters" on page 32 for information about setting up and cabling the Remote Supervisor Adapter. v Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program The PXE boot agent utility program is part of the BIOS code in the server. Use it to change network startup (boot) protocols and startup order and to select operating-system wake-up support. For information about using this utility program, see "Using the PXE boot agent utility program" on page 60. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the BIOS code. You can use it to: v Configure system devices and ports v Configure scalable partitions v Configure memory settings v Change the drive startup sequence v Enable USB keyboard and mouse support v Resolve configuration conflicts v Set the date and time v Set passwords and security settings Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program Complete the following steps to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program: 1. Turn on the server. Note: In a 16-way configuration some options or settings are defined through the primary server, while others must be defined on the individual server. Ensure that options or settings on the secondary server are correct before creating a scalable partition. 2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available. Note: Depending on your configuration you might experience a delay before the Configuration/Setup menu appears. 3. Select settings to view or change. Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices The following choices are on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Depending on the version of the BIOS code in the server, some menu choices might differ slightly from these descriptions. v System Summary Select this choice to view configuration information, including the type, speed, and cache sizes of the microprocessors and the amount of installed memory. When you make configuration changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, the changes are reflected in the system summary; you cannot change settings directly in the system summary. This choice is on the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu. 14 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
