Updating the Server Configuration
Updating the Server Configuration
When you start your server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or an external small computer systems interface (SCSI) device, you might
see a message telling you the configuration has changed. You might need to
install device drivers (required only if the option has a device driver). Refer to the
documentation that comes with your option for information about installing any
required device drivers.
Notes:
1. If you remove the last (terminated) SCSI device from the external SCSI cable
connected to the SCSI connector on the back of the server, the server might
not recognize any SCSI devices that are still connected on that SCSI channel
(cable). See Chapter 6, “Solving Problems” for information on correcting this
situation.
2. When a hard disk drive is added and you want to include it in your startup
sequence, use the Start Options selection of the Configuration/Setup Utility
programs (see “Start Options” on page 28).
3. When you install an ISA legacy adapter, you must allocate system resources to
support it (see “Plug and Play” on page 30).
4. You can find the list of supported hardware and software for your server at
http://www.pc.ibm.com/compat on the World Wide Web.
Record the new configuration information in Chapter 7, “Server Records and
Specifications” on page 161.
What to do next
Device drivers to install? See the instructions that come with the option to
determine if device drivers are required, and, if so, how to install them.
If you do not need to install any device drivers or update the system
configuration, your server is ready to use.
