1.
Determine your current configuration.
Refer to your operating system documentation to find out how to get configuration
information by using an operating system command.
You can also obtain configuration information about your system when the server is in
console mode. Once the server is in console mode, you can find configuration
information as follows:
•
If you are running the Windows NT operating system, get a list of your system's
modules and devices by accessing the Windows NT (ARC) console and accessing
the Supplementary menu. Choose the "List available boot devices" menu item to
see the "Available boot devices" display. Note that this display does not list tape
drives or network devices.
•
If you are running the DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS operating systems, get a list of
your system modules and devices by entering the
show config
command at
the console prompt.

Determine your new configuration.
You can obtain a current list of supported options from several sources, including:
•
The Digital FTP archive on the Internet
•
CompuServe
•
Digital Systems and Options Catalog
