3. Follow the instructions on the window.
4. Select settings to view or change.
For more information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see the IBM
326m User's Guide on the IBM Eserver Documentation CD.

Using the RAID configuration programs

Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and ServeRAID Manager to
configure and manage redundant array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure
to use these programs as described in this book.

comes with this server.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers

The two Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an
interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception
of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation,
the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and
automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For
device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server. To
find updated information about configuring the controllers, complete the following
steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/.
2. Under Search technical support, type 7969, and click Search.
3. In the Additional search terms field, type ethernet, and click Go.
Note: To use the Wake on LAN features that appear on the configuration menu,
The Ethernet controllers support optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets,
load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance,
