Updating the server configuration
Updating the server configuration
Attention:
The configuration information in this section applies to installing
options. For more information on using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program” on page 39.
When you start your server for the first time after you add, remove,
or replace an internal option or an external SCSI device, a message
might appear, indicating that the configuration has changed. The
configuration settings must be updated. This reconfiguration is
performed automatically by the server or manually by you. When
the server automatically configures an option, it uses system
programs. However, you must save the new settings through the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the system programs do
not update the settings, you can use the Configuration/Setup Utility
program to reconfigure the appropriate settings.
For example, when you start your server after adding memory or
after adding most internal hard disk drives, the settings are
automatically updated, and you use the Configuration/Setup Utility
program to save those changes. However, if a resource conflict
arises after an ISA legacy adapter is installed or removed, you must
manually update the server configuration and save the information.
Notes:
1. If an error message related to the chassis-intrusion detector
appears after you restart your server, you must enter the
administrator password. Note that chassis intrusion can be
detected only if the chassis-intrusion detector feature is
activated, which occurs when enhanced security is enabled and
an administrator password is set.
2. If you remove a SCSI device, the server might not recognize any
SCSI devices that are still connected. See Chapter 5, “Solving
problems” for information about correcting this situation.
3. To run the Configuration/Setup Utility program, follow the
instructions in “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program”
on page 39.
