The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output system
(BIOS) code in your server. Use it to configure serial port assignments, change
interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the startup-device sequence, set the
date and time, and set passwords. For information about using this utility
program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program".
– LSI Logic Configuration Utility program
Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility to configure the integrated SCSI
controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For
information about using this utility program, see "Using the LSI Logic
Configuration Utility program" on page 18.
– ServeRAID Manager
ServeRAID Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM
Director extension. If a ServeRAID adapter is installed in your server or if you
are using the RAID capabilities of the SCSI controller, use ServeRAID
Manager to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install
the operating system. For information about using this program, see "Using
ServeRAID Manager" on page 19.
For information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see "Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 19.
For information about updating the baseboard management controller firmware,
see "Using the baseboard management controller firmware update program" on
page 20.
