Chapter 2. Configuring Your Server
This chapter provides information about the configuration and
utility programs that come with your server, as well as instructions
that tell you when and how to use them.
The Configuration/Setup utility programs are part of the basic
input/output system (BIOS) that comes with your server. Using these
programs, you can set the system date and time, define input and
output device parameters, and define system security.
The PC Server System Board Diagnostic Diskette that comes with
the server provides additional configuration and diagnostic support
for the system board, disk drives, and other system components.
The built-in SCSISelect utility program configures the SCSI devices
that you install in your server. You can use SCSISelect to change
default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a
low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive.
