Using The Setup Utility - Lenovo Flex System x440 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

You can install up to two hard disk drives in the compute node and implement RAID level-0
(striping) or RAID level-1 (mirror) arrays in operating systems that are listed on the ServerProven list
at http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/
using the LSI Configuration Utility program (see
38).
If an optional RAID expansion adapter is installed, you can use it to control all the hard disk drives
that are installed in the compute node. See the documentation that comes with the expansion
adapter for information about how to configure the RAID array.
Important: You must create the RAID array before you install the operating system on the compute
node.
Step 4. Configure the integrated management module II (IMM2) using either the Setup utility or the
Advanced Settings Utility (ASU).
Step 5. Update the compute node firmware (see
Note: If the Chassis Management Module (CMM) and the compute nodes are set up to use DHCP,
and the CMM loses connectivity to the network, the CMM attempts to acquire a new IP address
when network connectivity is restored. The compute nodes will not attempt to acquire an IP
address again; they will continue to use their original IP addresses. Therefore, if you experience
network problems on compute nodes after connectivity between the CMM and the network is
restored, you might have to reset the service processor on each of the compute nodes in the
chassis (including the management node). See
information.
After you configure the compute node, you can install the operating system and update device drivers (see
Chapter 3 "Installing the operating system" on page 41

Using the Setup utility

Use these instructions to start the Setup utility.
You can access the Setup utility remotely through the CMM web interface. From the CMM web interface,
select Launch Compute Node Console. For more information, see the
Management Module: User's Guide" at http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/topic/

interface online help.
Note: The integrated management module II (IMM2) must have a valid IP address.
To start the Setup utility locally, complete the following steps:
Step 1. If the compute node is turned on, turn off the compute node (see
on page 17.
Step 2. If necessary, connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console breakout cable and connect
the console breakout cable to the compute node).
Step 3. Turn on the compute node (see
Step 4. When the prompt Press <F1> Setup is displayed, press F1. If you have set an administrator
password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Setup utility menu. If you do
not type the administrator password, a limited Setup utility menu is available.
Step 5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The following menu items are on the Setup utility main menu. Depending on the version of the Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), some menu items might differ slightly from these descriptions.
