Viewing the configuration

You can use ServeRAID Manager to view information about RAID controllers and
the RAID subsystem (such as arrays, logical drives, hot-spare drives, and physical
drives). When you click an object in the ServeRAID Manager tree, information about
that object appears in the right pane. To display a list of available actions for an
object, click the object and click Actions.
To display available actions for an item, click the item in the ServeRAID Manager

Enabling the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program

The Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility is part of the BIOS code in your server. You can
use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where
the network startup option appears in your startup sequence.
Complete the following steps to enable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program:
1. From the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, select Devices and I/O Ports
2. Select System Board Ethernet PXE/DHCP and use the Right Arrow (→) key to
3. Select Save Settings and press Enter.

Configuring the Intel 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 your server 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 need 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
updated information about configuring the controller, go to

and press Enter.
set it to Enabled.
