Using the ServeRAID configuration programs A ServeRAID adapter enables you to use multiple physical SCSI hard-disk drives as logical drives, operating as a disk array. To enable you to configure the ServeRAID controller, the adapter comes with a CD containing the ServeRAID Manager program and the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program. Note: If your server model came with an operating system, such as Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server or VMware ESX server, see the software documentation provided with your software for configuration information. Use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with your server to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and to perform an initial RAID configuration on your server. For details about using these programs, see the documentation that comes with the ServeRAID adapter and the User's Guide on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD. Using the Remote Supervisor Adapter For information about cabling, configuring, and using the Remote Supervisor Adapter or Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA to manage the server remotely, see the User's Guide and the appropriate Remote Supervisor Adapter User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. Using the Integrated System Management Firmware Update Utility program To update the firmware for the integrated system management processor (ISMP), download the Integrated System Management Processor Update utility program for your server from the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Run the utility program to create a diskette that you can use to update the firmware. The utility program updates the integrated system management processor firmware only and does not affect any device drivers. Complete the following steps to update the firmware: 1. Turn off the server. 2. Insert the diskette into the diskette drive. 3. Turn on the server. If the server does not start from the diskette, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure the diskette drive as a startup device. (For more information, see the information about Configuration/Setup Utility start options in the User's Guide). Then, start again at step 1 of this procedure. 4. From the main menu, select Update System Management Firmware and press Enter. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the update. If there is an error in updating the firmware, try updating the firmware again. 62 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Installation Guide
