You can run ServeRAID Manager in startable-CD mode from the IBM ServeRAID
Support CD or as an installed program. For information about installing ServeRAID
Manager, see the documentation on the CD.
See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for
additional information about RAID technology and instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager. The Installation Guide also contains instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager to configure your integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities.

Before you install your operating system, you must configure the controller that is
attached to the hard disk drives. Use the configuration program on the IBM
ServeRAID Support CD to configure the integrated SCSI controller with RAID
capabilities or to configure an optional IBM ServeRAID controller.
Configuring the 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 1000-Mbps network and provides full
duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of
data on the network. If the Ethernet port in the server supports auto-negotiation, the
controller detects the data-transfer rate of the network (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and automatically operates at that rate, in full-duplex or half-duplex
mode, as appropriate.
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. The
device drivers are available on the Resource CD. For the latest device drivers and
information about configuring your Ethernet controller, go to the IBM Support Web
site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support.
Updating BIOS
Go to the IBM Support Web site, http://www.ibm.com/pc/support for the latest
information about upgrading the BIOS for your server. The latest instructions are in
the documentation that comes with the update.
