The Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program
For most configurations, the server will operate using the default
system settings. You need to change the settings only to resolve
configuration conflicts or to enable or change device functions.
When you want or need to change the default settings, the
Configuration/Setup Utility program provides a convenient way to
display and change the settings.
After you run and exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program,
configuration information is stored in electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). While the server is
powered off, the configuration information remains available for the
next system startup.
Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you receive
an error message instructing you to do so. If you installed or
removed SCSI devices, run the SCSISelect Utility program (see
“Using the SCSISelect Utility program” on page 62). Review this
chapter and the information that comes with the option before
making changes. Also, record the current settings (see Chapter 7,
“Server records and specifications” on page 243) before making any
changes.
When you restart the server for the first time after working with
most options, a message appears, indicating that a configuration
change has occurred. You are then prompted to enter the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to manually update the
configuration settings or to confirm and save the settings that were
automatically updated by the system programs.
After you change an option and restart the server, the following
screen might appear.
