Chapter 4. Configuring your server
The following configuration programs are provided with your server:
• Configuration/Setup Utility
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
(BIOS) code that comes with your server. You can use this program to configure
serial port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the
drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords.
• SCSISelect Utility
With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that
are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. Use this program to change
default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level format
on a SCSI hard disk drive.
• PXE Boot Agent Utility
The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Boot Agent Utility program is part of
the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with your server. You can
use this program to change network boot protocols and boot order, to select OS
wake up support, and to set menu wait times.
• ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools specifically
designed for IBM servers. You can use these CDs during the initial installation of
your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your network
operating system installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of
application programs, which you can install after your server is up and running.
See “Using the ServerGuide CDs” on page 28 for more detailed information.
• ServeRAID programs
If you have a ServeRAID adapter installed in your server, you must use the
ServeRAID configuration program to define and configure your disk-array
subsystem before you install your operating system.
Note: Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for
detailed instructions for using the configuration programs.
