If the prompt does not appear, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable the Ethernet PXE/DHCP option. 3. Use the arrow keys and press Enter to select a choice from the menu. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the settings of the selected items; then, press Enter. Using the ServeRAID configuration programs A ServeRAID controller enables you to configure multiple physical hard disk drives to operate as logical drives in a disk array. The controller comes with a CD containing the ServeRAID Manager program and the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration program, which you can use to configure the ServeRAID controller. For information about these programs, see the documentation that comes with the ServeRAID controller and the User's Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD. If your server comes with an operating system installed, such as Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, see the software documentation that comes with the server for configuration information.
