Configuring the blade server The following configuration programs come with the blade server: v Configuration/Setup Utility program The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in the blade server. Use it to change system settings, such as interrupt requests (IRQ), date and time, and passwords. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more information. v LSI Logic Configuration Utility program The LSI Logic Configuration Utility program is part of the BIOS code in the blade server. Use it to set the device scan order and to set the SCSI controller IDs. For more information about this function, see the Installation and User's Guide. The IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 4.20 program is available for purchase. You can use IBM RDM Version 4.20 (or later) to install a BIOS code update onto a blade server by following the instructions in the documentation that comes with the RDM program. To determine if an operating system supports the RDM program or for updated information about RDM and information about purchasing the software, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/ww/eserver/xseries/ systems_management/index.html. For information about setting up the network configuration for remote management, such as with the IBM Director products, see the IBM BladeCenter Eserver Planning and Installation Guide for your BladeCenter unit type. You can obtain the planning guides from http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program This section provides the instructions to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and descriptions of the menu choices. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to: v View configuration information v View and change assignments for devices and I/O ports v Set the date and time v Set and change passwords v Set the startup characteristics of the server and the order of startup devices v Set and change settings for advanced hardware features v View and clear error logs v Change interrupt request (IRQ) settings v Enable USB legacy keyboard and mouse support v Resolve configuration conflicts 86 AMD Opteron LS20 Type 8850 for IBM BladeCenter: Problem Determination and Service Guide
