Configuring the Server Preparation for Use and Operation
5.5 Configuring the Server
This section contains information about configuring the server and installing the
operating system.
I Make sure that the energy saving functions are disabled in the BIOS Setup
during server operation.
5.5.1 Configuration with ServerStart
Configuring HostRAID
The server is equipped with an onboard
Ultra320
SCSI controller with HostRAID
functionality. Configure HostRAID before you begin with ServerStart.
I To configure HostRAID the controller has its own RAID-Select Utility. For
further information see “Adaptec HostRAID User’s Guide“ on the Server-
Books CD (choose Controllers from the menu).
With the ServerStart-CD provided, you can configure the server and install the
operating system in a convenient manner. The menu-guided configuration
includes the server configuration with the SCU and the RAID controller configu-
ration with the GAM (Global Array Manager) and/or Adaptec Storage Manager.
I Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the RAID controller
manual are provided in the appropriate readme files on the driver
diskettes.
To find out how to operate ServerStart and for further information, refer to the
corresponding CD booklet (see “Related Publications” on page 107).
If you use ServerStart, you can skip the following section on how to configure the
server and install the operating system. Continue with section “Cleaning the
Server” on page 68.
