When the Initializing Intel (R) Boot Agent Version X.X.XX PXE 2.0 Build XXX (WfM 2.0) prompt appears, press Ctrl+S. You have 2 seconds (by default) to press Ctrl+S after the prompt appears. If the prompt does not appear, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable the Ethernet PXE/DHCP option. 3. To select a choice from the menu, use the arrow keys and press Enter. 4. To change the settings of the selected items, follow the instructions on the screen. 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 that contains 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 xSeries Documentation CD. If the 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. Using the Scalable Partition Web Interface The Scalable Partition Web Interface is an extension of the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web Interface and is used to create, delete, control, and view scalable partitions. The Scalable Partition Web Interface is in the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine integrated service processor. To start the Scalable Partition Web Interface, complete the following steps: 1. Make sure that the service processor on each node is configured and connected to the network. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide for more information. 2. Connect the SMP Expansion cables to the nodes. See the User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. 3. Connect all nodes to an ac power source and make sure that they are not running an operating system. 4. Log in to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web Interface from the primary node. See the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine and Remote Supervisor Adapter II User's Guide for more information.
