Chapter 4. Configuring the blade server The following configuration programs come with your blade server: v Configuration/Setup Utility program This is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in your blade server. Use it to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, set the date and time, and set passwords. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more information. v IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools that are designed for your blade server. Use this CD during the installation of your blade server to configure basic hardware features, such as a SCSI controller with RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For information about using this CD, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 46. Note: The ServerGuide program works only with 32-bit Windows operating systems. v Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program The PXE boot agent utility program is part of the BIOS code in the blade server. Use it to select the boot protocol and other boot options and to select a power management option. For information about using this utility, see "Using the PXE boot agent utility program" on page 48. The following product is available for purchase: v IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.11 Update 3 or later You can use the IBM RDM Version 4.11 Update 3 (or later) product to install a BIOS update onto a blade server.
