Using the RAID configuration programs Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and ServeRAID Manager to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use these programs as described in the User's Guide. v Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to: - Perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive - View or change SCSI IDs for attached devices - Set SCSI protocol parameters on SCSI hard disk drives v Use ServeRAID Manager to: - Configure arrays - View your RAID configuration and associated devices - Monitor operation of your RAID controllers Detailed information about using the RAID configuration programs is available in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Updating the integrated service processor firmware To update only the firmware for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II and the integrated service processor, download the firmware update package for the server from the IBM Support Web site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ and follow the instructions in the text file on the Web site. To update the server BIOS, device drivers, and other firmware including the firmware for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II and integrated service processor, download and apply the system service package for the server. Detailed information is available in the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the I/O board. They provide an interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in your server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operate at that rate and mode. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with your server. For updated information about configuring the controllers, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Remote Supervisor Adapter II The Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be used on an Advanced System Management (ASM) network so that you can manage the server remotely. For more information about how to configure and use an ASM network to manage the server remotely through the Web-based interface or the text-based interface, see the User's Guide and the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide, both of which can be found on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the I/O board. They provide an interface

for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex

(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on

the network. If the Ethernet ports in your server support auto-negotiation, the

controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)

and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically

operate at that rate and mode.

You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must

install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For

device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the

Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD

that comes with your server.

For updated information about configuring the controllers, go to

http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.

Remote Supervisor Adapter II

The Remote Supervisor Adapter II can be used on an Advanced System

Management (ASM) network so that you can manage the server remotely.

For more information about how to configure and use an ASM network to manage

the server remotely through the Web-based interface or the text-based interface,

see the

User’s Guide

and the

IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II User’s Guide

, both

of which can be found on the IBM

xSeries Documentation
