the power cords into properly grounded electrical outlets.
Updating the server configuration
The configuration information in this section applies to installing
options. For more information on using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program, see Chapter 3, “Using the Configuration/Setup
Utility Program” on page 17.
Also, you may need to install device drivers after updating the
configuration settings. For more information, see the instructions
that come with the option to determine if device drivers are
required and how to install them.
After you add, remove, or replace options, you must update the
configuration settings. 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. 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 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. Make a record of all customized settings before you perform
any of the following steps.
2. For more information on error messages from resource conflicts,
see Chapter 6, “Solving problems” on page 147.
