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. For information about using this program, see “Using the Setup

Utility program” on page 104.

v Boot Manager program

The Boot Menu program is part of the UEFI firmware. Use it to override the

startup sequence that is set in the UEFI Setup Utility program and temporarily

assign a device to be first in the startup sequence. For additional information,

see “Using the Boot Manager program” on page 109.

v LSI Configuration Utility program

Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS/SATA

controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For

information about using this program, see “Using the LSI Configuration Utility

program” on page 110.

v ThinkServer EasyStartup program

This program simplifies the process of your RAID controller and installing

supported operating systems and device drivers. It is on the ThinkServer

EasyStartup DVD provided with your server. For details, see “Using the

ThinkServer EasyStartup DVD” on page 114.

v Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program

Use this program to specify where the network startup option is displayed in the

startup sequence. For additional information, see “Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit

Ethernet Utility program” on page 118.

v ThinkServer EasyManage products

ThinkServer EasyManage Core Server and ThinkServer EasyManage Agent work

together to provide centralized hardware and software inventory management

and secure automated system management through a single console. See

“Installing ThinkServer EasyManage software” on page 121.

v Integrated Management Module

Use the Integrated Management Module (IMM) for configuration, to update the

firmware and sensor data record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) data, and to

remotely manage a network. For information about using IMM, see “Using the

Integrated Management Module” on page 119.

v Remote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture feature are integrated into the

Integrated Management Module (IMM). The virtual media key is required to

enable the full system-management functions and the remote desktop protocol

support. When IMM Premium is installed in the server, it activates the remote

presence functions and remote desktop protocol support. Without the virtual

media key, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount or

unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you still will be able to

access the host graphical user interface through the Web interface without IMM

Premium. For more information about how to enable the remote presence

function, see “Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture” on

page 124.
