This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes
with your server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port
assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup
sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. See "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more information.
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. See "Using the SCSISelect utility program" on page 18
for more information.
The ServerGuide CD includes software setup and installation tools that are
specifically designed for your IBM server. You can use this CD during the initial
installation of your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your
network operating system installation. See "Using the ServerGuide Setup and
Installation CD" on page 20 for more detailed information.
SCSI or RAID programs
The SCSI or RAID programs come with the optional SCSI or RAID adapter and
with server models that have a SCSI or RAID adapter preinstalled. If your server
has a SCSI or RAID adapter installed, you must use the SCSI or RAID
Configuration program to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before
you install your operating system.
Note: If you have set both levels of passwords (user and administrator), you
must type the administrator password to access the full
Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
