1. Turn on the server.Note: Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power,the power-control button becomes active.2. When the prompt Setup is displayed, press F1.3. From the Setup utility main menu, select Boot Manager.4. Select Add Boot Option; then, select USB Storage. Press Enter, and then pressEsc.5. Select Change Boot Order and then select Commit Changes; then, press Enter.6. Select Save Settings and then select Exit Setup.If the embedded hypervisor flash device image becomes corrupted, you can usethe VMware Recovery CD that comes with the server to recover the flash deviceimage. To recover the flash device image, complete the following steps:1. Turn on the server.Note: Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power,the power-control button becomes active.2. Insert the VMware Recovery CD into the CD or DVD drive.3. Follow the instructions on the screen.For additional information and instructions, see the VMware ESXi Server 31Embedded Setup Guide at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35/vi3_35_25_3i_setup.pdfEnabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility programThe Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program is part of the server firmware. 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 Broadcom 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 andreception of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server supportauto-negotiation, the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T,100BASE-TX, or 1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of thenetwork and automatically operate at that rate and mode.You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, youmust install a device driver to enable the operating system to address thecontrollers. For device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernetcontrollers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Software CD.
