Updating IBM Director If you plan to use IBM Director to manage the server, you must check for the latest applicable IBM Director updates and interim fixes. To install the IBM Director updates and any other applicable updates and interim fixes, complete the following steps. Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure might vary slightly from what is described in this document. 1. Check for the latest version of IBM Director: a. Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/systems_management/ xseries_sm/dwnl.html. b. If the drop-down list shows a newer version of IBM Director than what comes with the server, follow the instructions on the Web page to download the latest version. 2. Install the IBM Director program. 3. Download and install any applicable updates or interim fixes for the server: a. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/. b. Click Downloads and drivers. c. From the Category list, select xSeries (Intel and AMD processor-based). d. From the Sub-category list, select System x3400 and click Continue. e.

Using the RAID configuration programs Note: RAID options and HostRAID are not supported on the SCO 6.0 and UnixWare 7.14 operating systems. Use the IBM ServeRAID Configuration Utility program, Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility program, and ServeRAID Manager to configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID). Be sure to use these programs as described in this document. The ServeRAID 8k-l SAS Controller that comes installed in some models (hot-swap SAS and hot-swap SATA models) enables you to configure multiple physical SAS or SATA hard disk drives to operate as logical drives in a disk array. The server comes with a CD containing the ServeRAID Manager program, which you can use to configure the ServeRAID 8k-l SAS Controller. 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. Use these programs to perform the following tasks: v Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive v View or change IDs for attached devices v Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives 84 System x3400 Types 7973, 7974, 7975, and 7976: User's Guide
