The following configuration programs come with your server:
v Configuration/Setup Utility
v LSI Logic Configuration Utility
v ServeRAID Manager
v Ethernet controller configuration

Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the BIOS code. You can use it to:
v Change the startup options
v Configure serial port assignments
v Set the date and time
v Set the password
Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program
If your server is already on, shut down the operating system, turn off the server,
and wait a few seconds until all in-use lights turn off. Then, restart the server.
The prompt Hit <F1> if you want to run SETUP might not be displayed when you
start your computer. To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, turn on the
power and immediately press and hold down the F1 key until you see either the
Configuration/Setup Utility menu or a password prompt.
If you have not set an administrator password, the Configuration/Setup Utility menu
opens on the screen. If you have set a password, the Configuration/Setup Utility
menu will not open until you type your password.
After the Configuration/Setup Utility program is started, help information and
instructions for using the keyboard are displayed on the right side of the screen.

This is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code in your server. Use it to
configure serial port assignments, view system information, change startup
options, set the date and time, and set the password. For information about using
this utility program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program".
Use this 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 is available as a stand-alone program. 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 controller, see "Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 20.
For information about updating the BIOS for your server, see "Updating BIOS" on
page 20.
