Using The Server Configuration Wizard Option - Intel SR6850HW4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

This screen gives you the following options, from which you can choose one:
Server Configuration Wizard: The Server Configuration Wizard presents a series of screens,
allowing the setup of the server to be either almost hands-off for the beginner, or nearly as
detailed as using the Server Platform Setup Utility for an expert user. The SCW can also run in
a silent mode of operation, where you provide a previously saved server configuration file on a
floppy diskette that the SCW uses to configure the server.
Create Diskettes: Select the Create Diskettes option to create diskettes that are used to do
utility installations and perform device driver installations.
Server Configuration Utilities: The Server Configuration Utilities button allows you to
manually set up the server configuration using specific software utilities that will set up the
BMC parameters.
Select the appropriate action and click Continue. The following sections walk through the screens
you will see following the selection of each of these options.

Using the Server Configuration Wizard Option

When the SCW starts, it checks the status of the server to determine what questions it needs to
query the user for to properly configure the system. To do this, SCW probes the server for the
following:
Main board
FRU devices
SDRs
Chassis type
Firmware version
BIOS version
Channels
Users
Advanced Feature Support
After the probe is complete, the SCW leads you through screens that ask for information about the
server. When all of the information has been gathered, the SCW asks for the permission to
complete the server configuration. It stores the configuration information in non-volatile memory
and it configures the BIOS and the BMC.
The SCW asks first if Intel® Server Management is installed on this server. If you select Yes, the
SCW does not ask you about configuring LAN channel 1, the serial channel, or users. If you select
No, you are given the option to configure these items through the SCW. The SCW continues by
asking you to choose to configure the FRUs, SDRs, the System Asset Tag, remote management and
advanced features (if the Intel® Management Module - Advanced Edition is installed). See the
following figure.
