ThinkServer TS100 Types 6431, 6432, 6433, and 6434: Hardware Maintenance Manual
EasyStartup program detects installed hardware devices and guides you through
the process of creating a response file and performing an unattended installation
of the operating system and associated device drivers.
For more information about the ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD, see "Using the
ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD" on page 23.
The ThinkServer EasyUpdate program allows you to download and install
updates for your specific server or server systems. Updates can be device
drivers, BIOS and firmware updates, or software updates.
Use these programs to configure the mini-baseboard management controller, to
update the firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU)
data, and to remotely manage a network. For information about using these
programs, see "Using the mini-baseboard management controller utility
programs" on page 26.
The Boot Menu program is part of the BIOS code. Use it to override the startup
sequence that is set in the Configuration/Setup Utility program and temporarily
assign a device to be first in the startup sequence. For information about using
this program, see "Using the Boot Menu program" on page 29.
The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS. You
can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize
where the network startup optional devices occur in the startup sequence. Enable
and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see "Enabling the Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent" on page 30.
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 30.
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS/SATA
controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For
information about using this program, see "LSI Configuration Utility program" on
page 30.
