You can use this program to configure serial port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the device startup sequence, set the date and time, set passwords, and set the chassis-intrusion detector. For information about using this utility program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 21. v Boot Menu program The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS code in the computer. Use it to temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence, overriding the startup sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information about using this utility program, see "Using the Boot Menu program" on page 24. v Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS code in the computer. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. You enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see "Enabling the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent" on page 25. v Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller configuration To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 25. v LSI Logic Configuration Utility program Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For information about using this program, see "LSI Logic Configuration Utility program" on page 25. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program This section provides instructions for starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program and descriptions of the menu choices that are available. Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the computer and watch the monitor screen. If the computer is already on when you start this procedure, you must shut down the operating system, turn off the computer, wait a few seconds until all in-use LEDs are turned off, and restart the computer. 2.
