Chapter 2. Configuration The following configuration programs are provided with your server: v Configuration/Setup Utility This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code 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. v SCSISelect Utility program With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. 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" on page 19 for more information. v ServerGuide CD The ServerGuide CD includes software setup and installation tools that are specifically designed for your IBM server.
