Chapter 4. Configuring the server The following configuration programs are provided with the server: v Configuration/Setup Utility The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the BIOS code that comes with the server. You can use this program to configure serial- and parallel-connector assignments, change the drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more information. v SCSISelect Utility With the SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that are attached to the optional SCSI adapter. Use this program to change default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive. See "Using the SCSISelect utility program (some models)" on page 37 for more information. v ServeRAID programs The ServeRAID programs come with the optional ServeRAID adapters and with server models that have a ServeRAID adapter preinstalled. If a ServeRAID adapter has been installed in the server, you must use the ServeRAID configuration program to define and configure the disk-array subsystem before you install the operating system. v ServerGuide CDs The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools specifically designed for IBM 200 servers. You can use these CDs during the initial installation of the server to configure the server hardware and simplify the NOS installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of application programs, which you can install after the server is up and running. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program This section provides the instructions for starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program and also provides descriptions of the menu choices that are available. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2000 33
