• ServeRAID firmware is stored in ROM on the system board and the RAID adapter (if one is installed).
• SAS/SATA firmware is stored in ROM on the SAS/SATA controller on the system board.
Configuring the server
The following configuration programs come with the server:
•
Setup utility
The Setup utility is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to perform configuration tasks such as changing
interrupt request (IRQ) settings, changing the startup-device sequence, setting the date and time, and
setting passwords. For information about using this program, see “Using the Setup utility” on page 64.
•
Boot Manager program
The Boot Manager is part of the UEFI 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” on page 70.
•
IBM
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD
The ServerGuide program provides software-setup tools and installation tools that are designed for the
server. Use this CD during the installation of the server to configure basic hardware features, such as an
integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities, and to simplify the installation of your operating
system. For information about using this CD, see “Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD”
on page 63.
•
Integrated management module
Use the integrated management module II (IMM2) 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 the IMM2, see “Using the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)” on page 71 and
the
Integrated Management Module II User's Guide
at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/
systemx/documentation/topic/ com.lenovo.sysx.imm2.doc/ printable_doc.html.
•
Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the integrated
management module (IMM2). The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system
state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO
and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM2 memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM2 restarts the
server when the IMM2 detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use
the blue-screen capture feature to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. For more
information, see “Using the remote presence and blue-screen capture features” on page 72.
•
Ethernet controller configuration
For information about configuring the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Ethernet controller” on
page 75.
•
IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program
Use this program as an alternative to the Setup utility for modifying UEFI settings and IMM2 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 run the Setup utility. For more information about using this program, see “IBM
Advanced Settings Utility program” on page 76.
