Configuring RAID arrays
Use the Setup utility to configure RAID arrays.
About this task
The specific procedure for configuring arrays depends on the RAID controller that
you are using. For details, see the documentation for your RAID controller. To
access the utility for your RAID controller, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Turn on the server.
Note: Approximately 10 seconds after the server is connected to power, the
power-control button becomes active.
2. When prompted, <F1 Setup> is displayed, press F1. If you have set an
administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access
the full Setup utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a
limited Setup utility menu is available.
3. Select System Settings > Storage.
4. Press Enter to refresh the list of device drivers.
5. Select the device driver for your RAID controller and press Enter.
6. Follow the instructions in the documentation for your RAID controller.
IBM Advanced Settings Utility program
The IBM Advanced Settings Utility (ASU) program is an alternative to the Setup
utility for modifying UEFI settings.
Use the ASU program online or out of band to modify UEFI settings from the
command line without the need to restart the system to access the Setup utility.
You can also use the ASU program to configure the optional remote presence
features or other IMM2 settings. The remote presence features provide enhanced
systems-management capabilities.
In addition, the ASU program provides IMM LAN over USB interface
configuration through the command-line interface.
Use the command-line interface to issue setup commands. You can save any of the
settings as a file and run the file as a script. The ASU program supports scripting
environments through a batch-processing mode.
For more information and to download the ASU program, go to
