both a user password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. Using the Boot Menu program The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility 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 to change the startup sequence of the computer, complete the following steps: 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Restart the computer. 3. Press F12. 4. Select the startup device. The next time the computer is started, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Enabling the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS code in the computer. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. You enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. To enable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet boot agent, complete the following steps: 1. From the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports and press Enter. 2. Select Planar Ethernet and use the Right Arrow (→) key to set it to Enabled. 3. Set the Network-Planar device as the first startup device under the Startup Option → Startup Sequence Options menu choice in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. 4. Select Save Settings and press Enter. Using the Adaptec HostRAID configuration programs Notes: 1. HostRAID is not supported on SCO 6.0 and UnixWare 7.14 operating systems. 2. For SAS and Ultra320 SCSI models, SATA HostRAID must be set to disabled. Use the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs and SCSISelect Utility (also referred as IBM ServeRAID-8e), to add RAID level-0 and level-1 functionality to the integrated SATA controller and the integrated SCSI controller. RAID level-0 is striping where the drives are seen as a single volume, and increases performances. RAID level-1 is mirroring where the contents of one drive are copied to the other drive to increase hard drive availability. Be sure to use these programs as described in this document. Use these programs to: v Configure a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array. v View or change the RAID configuration and associated devices. Chapter 3. Configuring the computer 17
