The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
(BIOS) code in the computer. 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 22.
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 25.
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 26.
– Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility programs (for Serial ATA RAID)
Use the Array Configuration Utility within the Adaptec RAID Configuration
Utility programs, to configure the integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller with
integrated RAID and the devices attached to it. The SATA HostRAID program
is part of the BIOS code in the computer. Use this utility program to define the
HostRAID configuration, format or verify SATA hard drives. For additional
information about using these utility programs, see "Using the Adaptec RAID
Configuration Utility program (for SATA RAID)" on page 27.
– SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)
Use the SCSI HostRAID feature of the SCSISelect Utility program to configure
the integrated SCSI controller with integrated RAID, and the devices that are
attached to it. For more information about using this utility program, see
"Using the SCSISelect Utility program (for SCSI RAID)" on page 28.
– SAS/SATA Configuration Utility program (for Serial Attached SCSI RAID)
With the SAS/SATA Utility Configuration program, you can configure the
devices that are connected to the SAS mini-PCI adapter. Use this program to
change default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level
format on a SAS hard disk drive. For additional information about using these
utility programs, see "Using the SAS/SATA Configuration Utility (for Serial
Attached SCSI RAID)" on page 29.
™
ServeRAID
Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM
Director extension. If a ServeRAID controller is installed in the computer, use
ServeRAID Manager to define and configure the disk-array subsystem before you
install the operating system. For information about using this program, see "Using
ServeRAID Manager" on page 30.
