Chapter 3. Configuring the server The following configuration programs and capabilities come with the server: 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 and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For information about using this CD, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 93. v Configuration/Setup Utility program The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS). Use it to configure serial port assignments, 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 Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 86. v RAID configuration programs - IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program Use the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program to configure devices that are attached to the SAS controller. For information about using this program, see "Using the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program" on page 95. - ServeRAID Manager ServeRAID Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM Director extension. Use ServeRAID Manager to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install the operating system. For information about using this program, see "Using ServeRAID Manager" on page 96. v Ethernet controller configuration For information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 110. v Baseboard management controller utility programs Use these programs to configure the baseboard management controller, to update the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and to remotely manage a network. For information about using these programs, see "Using the baseboard management controller" on page 98. v IBM Director IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. If you plan to use IBM Director to manage the server, you must check for the latest applicable IBM Director updates and interim fixes. For information about updating IBM Director, see "Updating IBM Director" on page 111. For more information about IBM Director, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD that comes with the server. v Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine configuration For information about setting up and cabling a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, see "Setting up a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine" on page 111. v Boot Menu program The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS. Use it to override the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program and temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2007 85
