Configuring the server
The following configuration programs are provided with the server:
• 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.
• 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 32
for more information.
• 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.
• 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.
