Configuring
the
blade
workstation
Important:
Configure
the
IP
address
of
the
blade
workstation
compression
card
and
the
thin
client
first,
so
that
they
can
communicate
with
each
other.
Then,
you
can
perform
other
configuration
tasks.
To
configure
the
compression
card
IP
address,
follow
the
instructions
in
“Changing
the
IP
address.”
The
following
configuration
programs
come
with
the
blade
workstation:
v
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
is
part
of
the
basic
input/output
system
(BIOS).
Use
it
to
change
system
settings,
such
as
interrupt
requests
(IRQ),
date
and
time,
and
passwords.
See
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
