Chapter 4. Configuring The Server; Using The Configuration/Setup Utility Program - IBM xSeries 200 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Chapter 4. Configuring the server

The following configuration programs are provided with the
server:
v Configuration/Setup Utility
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the
BIOS code that comes with the server. You can use this
program to configure serial- and parallel-connector
assignments, change the drive startup sequence, set the
date and time, and set passwords. See "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" for more
information.
v SCSISelect Utility
With the SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure
the devices that are attached to the optional SCSI
adapter. Use this program to change default values,
resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level
format on a SCSI hard disk drive. See "Using the
SCSISelect utility program (some models)" on page 37
for more information.
v ServeRAID programs
The ServeRAID programs come with the optional
ServeRAID adapters and with server models that have a
ServeRAID adapter preinstalled. If a ServeRAID adapter
has been installed in the server, you must use the
ServeRAID configuration program to define and
configure the disk-array subsystem before you install the
operating system.
v ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and
installation tools specifically designed for IBM 200
servers. You can use these CDs during the initial
installation of the server to configure the server
hardware and simplify the NOS installation. The
ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of application
programs, which you can install after the server is up
and running.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
