Configuring the server The following configuration programs and capabilities come with your server: v Configuration/Setup Utility program The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in your server. 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 utility program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program". v RAID configuration programs - LSI Logic Configuration Utility program Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For information about using this utility program, see "Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program" on page 18. - ServeRAID Manager ServeRAID Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM Director extension. If a ServeRAID adapter is installed in your server or if you are using the RAID capabilities of the SCSI controller, 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 19. v Ethernet controller configuration For information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 19. v Baseboard management controller firmware update utility program For information about updating the baseboard management controller firmware, see "Using the baseboard management controller firmware update program" on page 20.
