Chapter 4. Configuring the server

This chapter provides the following information to help you configure the server:
• "Using the Setup Utility program" on page 25
• "Using the ThinkServer EasyStartup program" on page 31
• "Configuring RAID" on page 33

Using the Setup Utility program

The Setup Utility program is part of the server firmware. You can use the Setup Utility program to view and
change the configuration settings of your server, regardless of which operating system you are using.
However, the operating system settings might override any similar settings in the Setup Utility program.

Starting the Setup Utility program

To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. Connect the server to an ac power source and press the power button on the front panel to turn on the
server. See "Turning on the server" on page 5.
2. Press the F1 key as soon as you see the logo screen. Then, wait for several seconds, and the Setup
Utility program opens. If you have set a password, type the correct password to enter the Setup Utility
program. For password information, see "Using passwords" on page 28.

Setup Utility program interface

Depending on the BIOS version of your server, some menu or item information might differ slightly from
the information in this topic.
Notes:
• The default settings already are optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not
familiar with. To avoid unexpected problems, do not change the values of unfamiliar items. If you
consider changing the server configuration, proceed with extreme caution. Incorrect settings might
cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the server because of incorrect BIOS settings, use the
Clear CMOS jumper to restore the BIOS settings to the factory default settings. See "System board
jumper" on page 23.
• If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to upgrade the BIOS.
Lenovo provides the BIOS update utility on the Lenovo Support Web site. You can download the BIOS
update utility to update the BIOS. See "Updating or recovering the BIOS" on page 30.
If the power to your server is interrupted while the BIOS is being updated and your server cannot start
properly, use the Clear CMOS jumper to recover from a BIOS update failure. See "System board
jumper" on page 23.
