SAS/SATA firmware is stored in ROM on the SAS/SATA controller on the system
board.
Setup utility
The Setup utility (formerly called the Configuration/Setup Utility program) is part of the
HUAWEI Tecal Server Firmware. Use it to perform configuration tasks such as
changing the startup-device sequence, setting the date and time, and setting passwords.
For information about using this program, see "Configuring the server".
Boot Selection Menu program
The Boot Selection Menu program is part of the server 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 Selection Menu program".
HUAWEI ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide 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 controller with RAID capabilities,
and to simplify the installation of your operating system. For information about
obtaining and using this CD, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD".
Integrated management module
Use the integrated management module (IMM) for configuration, to update the firmware
and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and to remotely manage
the server. For information about using the IMM, see "Using the integrated management
module".
VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
An USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is included
with some server models and available for purchase for other models. Hypervisor is
virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host system at
the same time. The USB embedded hypervisor flash device installs in either of the I/O
board internal USB ports. For more information about using the embedded hypervisor,
see "Using the embedded hypervisor".
Remote presence and blue-screen capture features
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
− Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz,
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 IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a
virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM
restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system
