Viewing

the

configuration

You

can

use

ServeRAID

Manager

to

view

information

about

RAID

controllers

and

the

RAID

subsystem

(such

as

arrays,

logical

drives,

hot-spare

drives,

and

physical

drives).

When

you

click

an

object

in

the

ServeRAID

Manager

tree,

information

about

that

object

appears

in

the

right

pane.

To

display

a

list

of

available

actions

for

an

object,

click

the

object

and

Enabling

the

Intel

Gigabit

Ethernet

Utility

program

The

Intel

Gigabit

Ethernet

Utility

is

part

of

the

BIOS

code

in

your

server.

You

can

use

it

to

configure

the

network

as

a

startable

device,

and

you

can

customize

where

the

network

startup

option

appears

in

your

startup

sequence.

Complete

the

following

steps

to

enable

the

Intel

Gigabit

Ethernet

Utility

program:

1.

From

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

main

menu,

select

Devices

and

I/O

Ports

and

press

Enter.

2.

Select

System

Board

Ethernet

PXE/DHCP

and

use

the

Right

Arrow

(→)

key

to

set

it

to

Enabled.

3.

Select

Save

Settings

and

press

Enter.

Configuring

the

Intel

Gigabit

Ethernet

controller

The

Ethernet

controller

is

integrated

on

the

system

board.

It

provides

an

interface

for

connecting

to

a

10-Mbps,

100-Mbps,

or

1-Gbps

network

and

provides

full

duplex

(FDX)

capability,

which

enables

simultaneous

transmission

and

reception

of

data

on

the

network.

If

the

Ethernet

port

in

your

server

supports

auto-negotiation,

the

controller

detects

the

data-transfer

rate

(10BASE-T,

100BASE-TX,

or

1000BASE-T)

and

duplex

mode

(full-duplex

or

half-duplex)

of

the

network

and

automatically

operates

at

that

rate

and

mode.

You

do

not

need

to

set

any

jumpers

or

configure

the

controller.

However,

you

must

install

a

device

driver

to

enable

the

operating

system

to

address

the

controller.

configuring

the

controller,
