Deleting the RAID 1 array This section provides instructions on how to delete a RAID array (RAID 1) you have created using the LSI Configuration Utility program. To delete a RAID array (RAID 1), do the following: 1. Select RAID Properties in the Adapter Properties window and press Enter to access the SAS RAID configuration main window and view the array information. 2. Select Manage Array in the View Array window. Then, the Manage Array window opens. 3. Select Delete Array in the Manage Array window and press Enter. When the message for confirmation is displayed, press Y. The array is deleted. Accessing the SAS Topology window This section provides instructions on how to access the SAS Topology window. To access the SAS Topology window, do the following: 1. Select SAS Topology in the Adapter Properties window and press Enter. The SAS Topology window opens. 2. Select Direct Attached Devices in the SAS Topology window and press Enter to view the information. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to perform other tasks. The keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen. Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provides an interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server supports auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically operates at that rate and mode. You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. Updating the firmware The firmware in the server is periodically updated and is available for download on the Lenovo Support Web site. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to check for the latest level of firmware, such as the BIOS ROM file, BMC FW and RAID FW files. When you replace a device in the server, you might have to either update the server with the latest version of the firmware that is stored in memory on the device or restore the pre-existing firmware from a diskette or CD image. • The BIOS ROM file is stored in flash on the system board. • The Ethernet firmware is stored in EEPROM on the Ethernet controller. • The integrated SAS controller firmware is stored in the ROM of SAS controller on the system board. • The SAS RAID card firmware is stored in ROM on the SAS RAID card. The Ethernet firmware is downloadable at http://www.lenovo.com/support. 128 ThinkServer RD240 Hardware Maintenance Manual
