Enabling the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program
Use this information to enable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program.
The Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. You can
use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize where
the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. Enable and disable the
Intel Gigabit Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
Use this information to configure the Ethernet controller.
The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an
interface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and provide
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support
auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the
network and automatically operate at that rate and mode.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you
must install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the
controllers. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet
controllers or to find updated information about configuring the controllers, see
http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/overview.
Configuring RAID arrays
Use the Setup utility to configure RAID.
About this task
Use the configuration utility programs to configure and manage redundant array
of independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described in
this document.
The following table lists the different server configurations and the applications
that are available for configuring and managing RAID.
