Youcan use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customizewhere the network startup option appears in the startup sequence. Enable anddisable the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program from the Setup utility.Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllerThe Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide aninterface for connecting to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps network and providefull-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and receptionof 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, or1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network andautomatically operate at that rate and mode.You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you mustinstall a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers.To find device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers,complete the following steps:1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.2. Under Product support, click System x.3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.4. From the Product family menu, select System x3550 M2 and click Go.Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual proceduremight vary slightly from what is described in this document.Using LSI Configuration Utility programUse the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure and manage redundant arrayof independent disks (RAID) arrays. Be sure to use this program as described inthis document.v Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to perform the following tasks:– Perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive– Create an array of hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive– Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives104 IBM System x3550 M2 Types 4198 and 7946: Installation and User’s Guide
