IBM System x3250 M3 Types 4251, 4252, and 4261: Problem Determination and Service Guide
The UEFI (formerly BIOS) Setup Utility program is part of the basic input/output
system firmware. Use it to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the
startup-device sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. For
information about using this program, see "Using the Setup utility" on page 197.
The Boot Manager program is part of the server firmware. Use it to override the
startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility and temporarily assign a device to
be first in the startup sequence. For more information about using this program,
see "Using the Boot Manager program" on page 202.
Use the integrated management module (IMM) for configuration, 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 integrated management module" on page 203.
The VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor is available on the server models that
come with an installed USB embedded hypervisor flash device. The USB flash
device is installed in the USB connector on the system board. Hypervisor is
virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host
system at the same time. For more information about using the embedded
hypervisor, see "Using the embedded hypervisor" on page 204.
The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the
integrated management module (IMM). The virtual media key is required to
enable the remote presence functions. When the optional virtual media key is
installed in the server, it activates the remote presence functions. Without the
virtual media key, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount
or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you will still be able
to access the host graphical user interface through the web interface without the
Virtual Media Key. You can order the optional IBM Virtual Media Key, if one did
not come with your server. For more information about how to enable the remote
presence function, see "Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen
capture" on page 205.
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the
Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 207.
Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI
settings. Use the ASU program online or out-of-band to modify UEFI settings
from the command line without the need to restart the server to access the Setup
utility. For more information about using this program, see "IBM Advanced
Settings Utility program" on page 210.
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 "Using the LSI Configuration Utility
program" on page 208.
The following table lists the different server configurations and the applications
that are available for configuring and managing RAID arrays.
