The next time the computer is started, it returns to the startup sequence that is set
in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Enabling the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent

The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS code in
the computer. You can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and
you can customize where the network startup option appears in the startup
sequence. You enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot
Agent from the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
To enable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet boot agent, complete the
following steps:
1. From the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports
2. Select Planar Ethernet and use the Right Arrow (→) key to set it to Enabled.
3. Set the network-planar device as the first startup device under the Startup
4. Select Save Settings and press Enter.

Configuring the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provides full duplex
(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on
the network. If the Ethernet port in the computer supports auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T)
and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and automatically
operates at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller. However, you must
install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controller. For
device drivers and information about configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller, see

LSI Logic Configuration Utility program

Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant
array of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described
in this document.
v Use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to perform the following tasks:
In addition, you can download an LSI command-line configuration program from
http://www.ibm.com/support/.
When you are using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and
manage arrays, consider the following information:
v The integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities supports:
and press Enter.
Option → Startup Sequence Options menu choice in the Configuration/Setup
Utility program.
– Perform a low-level format on a SAS hard disk drive
– Set SAS protocol parameters
– Integrated Mirroring (IM) with hot-spare support (also known as RAID 1)
