The PXE boot agent utility program is part of the BIOS code in your server. Use
it to change network startup (boot) protocols and startup order and to select

program, see "Using the PXE boot agent utility program" on page 50.
v ServeRAID Manager
ServeRAID Manager is available as a stand-alone program and as an IBM Director
extension. If a ServeRAID adapter is installed in your server or if you are
using the RAID capabilities of the integrated SCSI controller, use ServeRAID
Manager to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install the
operating system. For information about using this program, see "Using
ServeRAID Manager" on page 51.
v Configuring Scalable Partitions
To create or remove scalable partitions, see "Configuring scalable partitions" on
page 58.
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is part of the BIOS code. You can use it to:
v Configure system devices and ports
v Configure scalable partitions
v Change the drive startup sequence
v Enable USB keyboard and mouse support
v Resolve configuration conflicts
v Set the date and time
v Set passwords and security settings
Complete the following steps to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program:
1. Turn on the server.
Note: In a 16-way configuration some options or settings are defined through
the primary server, while others must be defined on the individual server.
Ensure that options or settings on the secondary server are correct
before creating a scalable partition.
2. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. If you
have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must
type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited
Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available.
Note: Depending on your configuration you might experience a delay before
the Configuration/Setup menu appears.
3. Select settings to view or change.
The following choices are on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Depending
on the version of the BIOS code in your server, some menu choices might differ
slightly from these descriptions.
v System Summary
Select this choice to view configuration information, including the type, speed,
and cache sizes of the microprocessors and the amount of installed memory.
