Configuration information <strong>and</strong> instructions<br />

Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program<br />

You can configure the Broadcom Gigabit ports as a startable device, <strong>and</strong> can be<br />

customized in the startup sequence. Enable, disable, <strong>and</strong> customize the startup sequence<br />

of the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet ports from the Setup Utility.<br />

Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller<br />

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for<br />

connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network <strong>and</strong> provide full-duplex (FDX)<br />

capability, which enables simultaneous transmission <strong>and</strong> reception of data on the network.<br />

If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation, the controllers detect the<br />

data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) <strong>and</strong> duplex mode (full-duplex<br />

or half-duplex) of the network <strong>and</strong> automatically operate at that rate <strong>and</strong> mode.<br />

You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must install<br />

a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For device<br />

drivers <strong>and</strong> information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom<br />

NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Software CD. To find updated information about configuring<br />

the controllers, see ES7000 Model 7600R G2 Product <strong>Support</strong> site page.<br />

Configuring RAID arrays<br />

Through the Setup utility, you can access utilities to configure RAID arrays. The specific<br />

procedure for configuring arrays depends on the RAID controller that you are using. For<br />

details, see the documentation for your RAID controller. To access the utility for your RAID<br />

controller, complete the following steps:<br />

1. Turn on the server.<br />

Note: Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to AC power, the<br />

power-control button becomes active.<br />

2. When the prompt “ Setup” is displayed, press F1. If you have set an<br />

administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full<br />

Setup utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited Setup<br />

utility menu is available.<br />

3. Select System Settings → Adapters <strong>and</strong> UEFI drivers.<br />

4. Press Enter to refresh the list of device drivers.<br />

5. Select the device driver for your RAID controller <strong>and</strong> press Enter.<br />

6. Follow the instructions in the documentation for your RAID controllers.<br />

For more information about RAID arrays, see the IBM Redbooks publications about RAID<br />

arrays at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0054.html.<br />
