Chapter 4. Configuring the server
The following configuration programs are provided with the server:
• 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.
• SCSISelect Utility
With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that
are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. 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” on page 36 for more
information.
• PXE Boot Agent Utility
The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Boot Agent Utility program is part of
the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with your server. You can use
this program to change network boot protocols and boot order, to select OS wake
up support, and to set menu wait times.
• ServeRAID programs
If there is a ServeRAID adapter installed in the server, you must use the
ServeRAID configuration program to define and configure your disk-array
subsystem before you install your operating system.
