v Change interrupt request (IRQ) settings v Enable USB keyboard and mouse support v Resolve configuration conflicts Complete the following steps to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program: 1. Turn on the server and watch the monitor screen. 2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If an administrator password has been set, you must type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. 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 this book. 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 In addition, an LSI command-line configuration program (CFG1030) is available from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Consider the following information when using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and ServeRAID Manager to configure and manage arrays: v Use the ServeRAID Manager program to configure your arrays before you install your operating system. Do not use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure arrays. v The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities in your server supports only RAID level-1 with a hot-spare drive installed. Installing an optional ServeRAID controller provides additional RAID levels. v If your server has a ServeRAID controller installed, you can use ServeRAID Manager to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities for other supported RAID levels. v You cannot use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities. v When you create a RAID level-1 (mirrored) pair, all drives must be on the same channel. v To update the firmware and BIOS codes for an optional ServeRAID controller, you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the controller. v If you install a different type of RAID controller, see the documentation that comes with the controller for information about viewing and changing SCSI settings for attached devices. 38 xSeries 365 Type 8861 and 8862: Installation Guide
