Configuring the server The following configuration programs are provided with your server: • Configuration/Setup Utility This Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) that comes with your server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more information. • SCSISelect Utility With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices attached to the integrated SCSI controller. See "Using the SCSISelect utility program" on page 36 for more information. • ServerGuide CDs The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools specifically designed for IBM Netfinity servers. You can use these CDs during the initial installation of your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your network operating system installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of application programs, which you can install after your server is up and running. See "Server features" on page 5" for more detailed information. • ServeRAID programs The ServeRAID programs come with the optional ServeRAID adapters and with server models that have a ServeRAID adapter preinstalled. If your server has a ServeRAID adapter installed, you must use the ServeRAID Configuration program to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install your operating system. See "Configuring the server""Chapter 5. Using IBM ServeRAID," on page 29 for more detailed information.
