Chapter 3. Configuring the server The following configuration programs come with the server: v Setup utility The Setup utility (formerly called the Configuration/Setup Utility program) is part of the IBM System x Server Firmware. Use it to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the startup-device sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. For information about using this program, see "Using the Setup utility" on page 144. v Boot Menu program The Boot Menu program is part of the IBM System x Server Firmware. Use it to override the startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence. v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools that are designed for the server. Use this CD during the installation of the server to configure basic hardware features, such as an integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For information about obtaining and using this CD, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 150. v Integrated management module Use the integrated management module (IMM) for configuration, to update the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and to remotely manage a network. For information about using the IMM, see "Using the integrated management module" on page 152. v VMware embedded USB hypervisor The VMware embedded USB hypervisor is available on the server models that come with an installed IBM USB Memory Key for VMware hypervisor. The USB memory key is installed in the USB connector on the SAS riser-card. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host computer at the same time. For more information about using the embedded hypervisor, see "Using the USB memory key for VMware hypervisor" on page 153. v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the integrated management module (IMM). The virtual media key is required to enable these features. When the optional virtual media key is installed in the server, it activates the remote presence functions. Without the virtual media key, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you will still be able to access the host graphical user interface through the Web interface without the virtual media key. You can order an optional IBM Virtual Media Key, if one did not come with your server. For more information about how to enable the remote presence function, see "Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture" on page 154. v Ethernet controller configuration For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 156. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2011 143
