Using the ServeRAID configuration programs
A ServeRAID controller enables you to configure multiple physical hard disk drives
to operate as logical drives in a disk array. The controller comes with a CD
containing the ServeRAID Manager program and the ServeRAID Mini-Configuration
program, which you can use to configure the ServeRAID controller. For information
about these programs, see the documentation that comes with the ServeRAID
controller and the User’s Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD. If your
server comes with an operating system installed, such as Microsoft Windows 2000
Datacenter Server, see the software documentation that comes with the server for
configuration information.
Using the PXE boot agent utility program
The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program is part of the
BIOS code. You can use it to specify the startup order of devices and enable or
disable operating-system wake-up support.
Note: The server does not support changing the network boot protocol or
specifying the startup order of devices through the PXE boot agent utility program.
Complete the following steps to start the PXE boot agent utility program:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the Initializing Intel (R) Boot Agent Version X.X.XX PXE 2.0 Build
XXX (WfM 2.0) prompt appears, press Ctrl+S. You have 2 seconds (by default)
to press Ctrl+S after the prompt appears. If the prompt does not appear, use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to enable the Ethernet PXE/DHCP option.
3. Use the arrow keys and press Enter to select a choice from the menu.
