Setup and configuration overview
When you use the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, you do not need setup
diskettes. You can use the CD to configure any supported IBM server model. The
ServerGuide program checks your system BIOS, service processors, and other
system hardware to determine if syste m up d ates ar e available. The setup program
provides a list of tasks that are required to set up your server model. On SCSI RAID
servers, you can run the SCSI RAID configuration pr ogram to create logical drives.
Note: Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
When you start the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, the program perf orms the
following tasks:
• The ServerGuide program prompts you for your language, country, and keyboard
layout. (This information is stored and later passed to the operating-system
installation program.)
• The ServerGuide program displays choices for running the configuration
programs. For example:
— The Express Configuration method runs the required programs for your
server, based on the hardware that is detected.
— The Custom Configuration method displa ys all prog rams that are a v ail ab le for
your server, and you decide which programs to run.
— The Replicated Configuration method provides the opt ion of duplicating your
setup selections to other servers that are the same model.
• If you select the Custom Configura tion method, the f ollowing f eatures are op tional.
If you select the Express Configuration method, some or all of these features ar e
run, depending on the hardware that is detected:
— The Set Date and Time feature is provided so that you do not have to use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to access these settings.
Chapter 2. Configuring your server 21
— The Clear Hard Disks feature is provided so you can delete all partitions on all
hard disk drives. If the server has a SCSI RAID ada pter installed, you can
select to restore the configuration on the SCSI RAID adapter to the factory
default settings.
— The ServerGuide program checks the system BIOS code and microcode
(firmware) lev els for supported options and then checks the CD for a newer
level. Th e CD content might be ne w er than the BIO S code and firmware le v el.
The ServerGuide program can perform a flash update of the BIOS code and
supported microcode (firmware) options without using diskettes.
— The SCSI RAID configuration program starts, leading you through the entire
configuration process.
— The Performance Optimizer program easily tunes your server for your
environment.
— The ServerGuide program creates a System Partition on the default drive.
• The ServerGuide program displays a confirmation summary , so that y ou will kno w
when you have completed all the required tasks. Then, you are ready to install
your operating system.
Notes:
1. Plug and Play adapters are configured automatically. Non-Plug and Play adapters
might require switch settings, additional device drivers, and installation after the
operating system is installed. See the documentation that comes with the adapter.
2. Diagnostics for your server come in BIOS code or on a separate diagnostics CD.
System Partition
The ServerGuide program creates a 50 MB System Partition on the default drive. The
System Partition contains server-specific utility programs such as service processor
disk operating system (DOS) utilities, system diagnostics, flash BIOS updates, and
other programs. Programs in the System Partition vary by server model, and not all
server models run utility programs from the System Partition. To determine which
ones do, start the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD and view the online
overview.
After setup is complete, you can access programs in the System Partition by restarting
the server and pressing Alt+F1 when the prompt is displayed. The System Partition
menu displays the programs that are available on your server model.
Typical operating-system installation
You can use the ServerGuide program to shorten your inst allation time. The
ServerGuide program provides the device drivers that are required for your hardware
and for the operating system that you are installing. This section describes a typical
ServerGuide operating-system installation.
Note: Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
1. After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation
program starts. (You will need your operating-system CD to complete the
installation.)
2. The ServerGuide program stores information about the server model, service
processor, hard disk drive controllers, and network adapters. Then, the program
checks the CD for newer device drivers. This information is stored and then
passed to the operating-system installation program.
22 IBM xSeries 205Type 8480:User’s Guide
3. With some operating-system installations, you can create an operating-systemreplication diskette for setting up additional servers. This diskette contains the
Internet protocol (IP) address, server name, and other selections.
4. The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are
based on your operating-system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
5. If you are installing the operating system from diskette, the ServerGuide program
lists the diskettes that you must create and the optional diskettes tha t you might
want to create. The diskettes that you can create are the device-driver diskettes
for the installed adapters or controllers.
6. The ServerGuide program promp ts you to insert your operating-system CD and
restart the server. At this point, the installation program for the operating system
takes control to complete the installation.
Setting up or updating multiple servers
You can use the ServerGuide program to create diskettes that help you set up or
update multiple servers. You can modify information on the diskettes as you use them
to set up or update other servers.
Note: Availability and function can vary by server model and by the hardware that is
installed.
You can create a setup-replication diskette, which contains your hardware

are of the same model.
You can create an operating-system-replication diskette, which contains information
that you need to complete multiple installations. Not all operating systems support
operating-system-replication diskettes.
Installing your operating system without ServerGuide
If you have already configured the server hardware and you decide not to use the
ServerGuide program to install your operating system, complete the following steps to
download the latest operating-system installat ion instructions from the IBM Support
Web page:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
2. Under Browse, click Servers.
3. From the Family drop-down list, select your server model.
4. If NOS installation instructions are available for y our server model, OS
installation is in the list in the upper-left corner of the Web page. Click OS
installation and select the instructions for your operating system.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
The server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This contr olle r pr ovides an
interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks and provides
full duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception
of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). You do not need to set any jumpers
or configure the Ethernet co ntroller for your operating system before you use the
Ethernet controller. How e v er , you m ust install a de vice driver to enable y our oper ating
system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided on the
Device Drivers and IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD.
When you connect your se rver to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically
detects the data-transf er rate (10- Mbps, 100-Mbps , or 1000-Mbps) on the net work and
Chapter 2. Configuring your server 23
then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet
ports that your server is connected to support auto-negotiation, the Gigabit Ethernet
controller will set the appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet controller will
adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASET), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T), half duplex (HDX), or full duplex
(FDX). The controller supports half-duplex (HDX) and full-duplex (FDX) modes at both
speeds.
For inf ormation about configuring y our Eth ernet controller, see the Device Drivers and
IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD that comes with your server. For updated information
about configuring your Ethernet controller, go to the IBM Support Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ and navigate to the area for your specific server type.
From this area you can download documentation, the most current device drivers for
your server, and software that supports advanced networking functions. After
downloading, run the downloaded program launch.exe.
You Ethernet controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets,
load balancing, fault tolerance, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance,
security, and throughput for your server. These modes apply to the integrated
Ethernet controller and to the controllers on supported Ethernet adapters.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The
warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you purchase f or your use, an d not f or resa le, from IBM or y our reseller. The
term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades,
elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not
include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed
subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties
apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of
Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or
limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from
defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published
Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified,
fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is
the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or
your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at
least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your
money will be refunded.
Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product
for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of
Machine or parts identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLAC E
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHE R RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO
JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH

your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes y ours . You
represent that all remov ed items ar e genuine and unaltered. The replac ement ma y not
be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the
item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced
item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their
return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service
status of the removed part.
Before IBM or y our reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features , parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal ob ligatio ns or rest rictions that prevent
its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation char ge s.
Neither IBM nor your r eseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or
personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller
for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its
return.
Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on
IBM's part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each
such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages
from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other
contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
