Using the baseboard management controller utility programs

Use the baseboard management controller utility programs to configure the

baseboard management controller, download firmware updates and sensor data

record/field replaceable unit (SDR/FRU) updates, and remotely manage a network.

Using the baseboard management controller configuration utility

program

Use the baseboard management controller configuration utility program to view or

change the baseboard management controller configuration settings. You also can

use the utility program to save the configuration to a file for use on multiple servers.

Note: You must attach an optional USB diskette drive to the server to run this

program.

To start the baseboard management controller configuration utility program,

complete the following steps:

1. Insert the configuration utility diskette into the diskette drive and restart the

server.

2. From a command-line prompt, type bmc_cfg and press Enter.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Using the baseboard management controller firmware update

utility program

Use the baseboard management controller firmware update utility program to

download and apply a baseboard management controller firmware update and

SDR/FRU data update. The firmware update utility program updates the baseboard

management controller firmware and SDR/FRU data only and does not affect any

device drivers.

Note: To ensure proper server operation, be sure to update the server baseboard

management controller firmware before you update the BIOS code.

To update the firmware, if the Linux or Windows

operating-system update package

is available from the World Wide Web and you have obtained the applicable update

package, follow the instructions that come with the update package.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers

The Ethernet controllers are integrated on the system board. They provide an

interface for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide

full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception

of data on the network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto-negotiation,

the controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or

1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the network and

automatically operate at that rate and mode.

You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers. However, you must

install a device driver to enable the operating system to address the controllers. For

device drivers and information about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the

Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Software CD that comes with the server.

To find updated information about configuring the controllers, go to the Lenovo Web

site.
