3.17.4 Updating the blade server configuration
When the blade server starts for the first time after you add or remove an internal option,
you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup Utility
automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration settings. See Using the
Setup Utility on page 66 for more information about the Setup Utility.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes
with each option for information about installing device drivers.
The blade server operates as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server, regardless of how
many microprocessors are installed. For optimum performance, you must upgrade the
operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 5, Installing the operating system , on page
97 for details and your operating-system documentation for additional information.
