Configuring The Server; Using The Easystartup Setup - Lenovo ThinkServer sd350 Installation And Service Manual

6. Wait for the update process to complete, which will take up to 30 minutes. Then click Next and the
results window opens.
7. After reviewing the update results, restart the server to make the firmware updates take effect and
remove the CD/DVD or USB disk.

Configuring the server

The following configuration programs come with the server:
• Lenovo EasyStartup Setup and Installation CD
The EasyStartup program provides software-setup tools and installation tools that are designed for the
server. Use this CD during the installation of the server to configure basic hardware features, such as an
integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating
system. For information about using this CD, see "Using the EasyStartup Setup" on page 32.
• BIOS setup utility
The Setup utility is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to perform configuration tasks, changing the
startup-device sequence, setting the date and time, and setting passwords.
• Boot Manager program
The Boot Manager is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to override the startup sequence that is set in the
Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to be first in the startup sequence. For more information
about using this program, see "Using the Boot Manager" on page 38.
• TMM
Use the TMM for configuration, to update the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit
(SDR/FRU) data, and to remotely manage a network.
• Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the TMM. The remote
presence feature provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1024 x 768, regardless of the system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO
and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the TMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the TMM restarts the
server when the TMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use
the blue-screen capture feature to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. For more
information, see "Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture features" on page 39.
• Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see Ethernet controller configuration section.
• Configuring RAID arrays
For information about configuring RAID arrays, see "Configuring RAID arrays" on page 40 and
http://docs.avagotech.com/docs/12353379.
Important: It is highly recommended to apply a clean hard disk drive for RAID function to prevent
unexpected system behavior.
