Raid Configuration Utility; Bios Upgrade Utility - Digital Equipment DIGITAL Server 7100 1200 Service Maintenance Manual

RAID Configuration Utility

RAID-ready DIGITAL Servers include a RAID adapter and RAID configuration utility.
The RAID configuration utility appears when you boot the server with the
ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disc. Use this utility to configure your RAID
array.
Refer to the RAID User's Manual on the Quick Launch CD-ROM. Select the "User
Documentation" button.

BIOS Upgrade Utility

All servers have BIOS software in a flash (ROM) chip located on the main logic
board. This BIOS initializes hardware and boots the operating system when the
server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to other services such as
keyboard and disk drives.
You can upgrade the server's BIOS to future releases by executing the BIOS
upgrade utility (PHLASH.EXE) located in the BIOS upgrade kit. The "BIOS upgrade"
switch (J35-SW1) on the main logic board must be set to ON before you can
upgrade the system BIOS.
BIOS upgrades are available on the Internet.

For access directly to the software library for BIOS and driver upgrades, use the

When upgrading the BIOS, you must remove any video expansion boards and
enable the onboard VGA. In the rare event that you may need to use the crisis
recovery diskette, the server will require that the onboard VGA be used in this mode.
NOTE:
If you are configuring the server for Ultra SCSI, use the
DACCF utility for the Mylex controller to enable Ultra SCSI data
transfers.
CAUTION: A crisis recovery diskette should be created before
upgrading the server BIOS.
