The following configuration programs are provided with the server:
v
Configuration/Setup Utility
This program is part of the
basic input/output system
(
BIOS
) that comes with the
server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port
assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, 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 built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices
attached to the integrated SCSI controller. See “Using the SCSISelect utility
program” on page 35 for more information.
v
PXE Boot Agent Utility
The Preeboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Boot Agent Utility program is part
of the BIOS code that comes with your server. You can use this program to
change network startup (boot) protocols and startup (boot) order, to select
operating system wake up support, and to set menu wait times. See “Using the
Preeboot eXecution Environment boot agent utility program” on page 37 for
more information.
v
ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools specifically
designed for IBM xSeries servers. You can use these CDs during the initial
installation of the server to configure the server hardware and simplify the
network operating system installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a
collection of application programs, which you can install after the server is up
and running.
v
ServeRAID programs
The ServeRAID programs come with the optional ServeRAID adapters. If the
server has a ServeRAID adapter installed, you must use the ServeRAID
configuration program to define and configure the disk-array subsystem
before
you install the operating system. Refer to the ServeRAID documentation
provided on the
IBM xSeries Documentation
CD.
