Configuring a ServeRAID controller
Use the information in this section to configure an optional ServeRAID controller. If
you need to configure an optional LSI RAID controller, see "Using the LSI Logic
Configuration Utility program" on page 222. You can also select System Settings
and Adapters and UEFI Drivers on the Setup utility to view a list of UEFI device
drivers that support configuration; then, select the adapter that you want to
configure to start a configuration program (see "Using the Setup utility" on page
214).
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
To update the firmware and server firmware for an optional ServeRAID controller,
you must use the IBM ServeRAID Support CD that comes with the controller.

1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support, click Hardware upgrades.
3. Under Product family, click RAID.
4. Under Type, click on the type of RAID controller that is installed in your server.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provides full-duplex
(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on
the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)
and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically
operates at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. To
find updated information about configuring the controller, complete the following
steps.

updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest
level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the
code.

as the IBM and Lenovo part number 73P4515 or 73P4516. See "Firmware
updates" on page 213 for additional instructions about using an external USB
CD-RW/DVD drive.
