Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes with each optional device for information about installing device drivers.
Page 119: Chapter 6. Configuring The Server
Chapter 6. Configuring the server Lenovo provides a number of programs to assist you with getting your server up and running quickly. v Setup Utility program The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI, formerly called BIOS) Setup Utility program is part of the system firmware. Use it to change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the startup-device sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords.
Page 120: Using The Setup Utility Program
v Ethernet controller configuration For information about the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 118. Using the Setup Utility program The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides the interface between the operating system and platform firmware and controls platform initialization. These functions are analogous to those provided in the BIOS on non-UEFI compliant computers.
Page 121 Select this choice to view the system board identifier, the revision level or issue date of the firmware, the integrated baseboard management controller and diagnostics code, and the version and date. This choice is on the full UEFI Setup Utility menu only. v System Settings Select this choice to view or change the server component settings.
Page 122 Select this choice to Enable or Disable devices from taking control of the boot process. The default is Disable. - Legacy Thunk Support Select this choice to Enable or Disable Legacy Thunk Support. - Legacy PXE Enable Select this choice to Enable or Disable the Legacy PXE Boot option. The default is Disable.
Page 123: Passwords
– Power-on Password Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See “Power-on password” for more information. – Administrator Password Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full UEFI Setup Utility menu.
Page 124 If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server in any of the following ways: v If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the password prompt. Start the UEFI Setup Utility program and reset the power-on password.
Page 125: Using The Boot Manager Program
Attention: Before changing any switch settings or moving any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. See the safety information that begins on page vii. Do not change settings or move jumpers on any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in this document. While the server is turned off, move switch 5 of the switch block (SW3) 4 to the On position to enable the power-on password override.

Page 127 – Set protocol parameters on hard disk drives The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports RAID arrays. You can use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure RAID 1 (IM), RAID 1E (IME), and RAID 0 (IS) for a single pair of attached devices. If you install a different type of RAID adapter, follow the instructions in the documentation that comes with the adapter to view or change settings for attached devices.

Formatting a hard disk drive Low-level formatting removes all data from the hard disk. If there is data on the disk that you want to save, back up the hard disk before you perform this procedure. Note: Before you format a hard disk, make sure that the disk is not part of a mirrored pair.
Page 129 Adapter Properties From this view, you can display and modify the properties of the SAS adapter that is currently selected. Scan Devices From this view, you can re-scan the physical and virtual disks for any changes in the drive status or physical configuration. Virtual Disks From this view, you can display and modify the virtual disk properties, delete virtual disks, initialize disks, and perform other tasks.
Page 130: Using The Thinkserver Easystartup Dvd
If you did not receive an ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD with your server, you can download an image from the Lenovo Support Web site at http://www.lenovo.com/ support. The EasyStartup program has the following features:...
Page 131: Before You Use The Thinkserver Easystartup Dvd
RAID controller is configured, start the EasyStartup program and install your operating system. EasyStartup overview The EasyStartup program requires a supported Lenovo server with an enabled, startable (bootable) DVD drive.
