The Configuration/Setup Utility
The Configuration/Setup Utility
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 (for
example, enabling the infrared port).
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 nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
The configuration information remains available for the next system
startup while the server is powered off.
Always run the Configuration/Setup utility program if you have
added or removed any hardware option, or if you receive an error
message instructing you to do so. Review this chapter and the
information that comes with the device before making changes.
Also, record the current settings (see Appendix B, “Server Records”
on page 217) before making any changes.
Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility Program
To start the Configuration/Setup utility program:
1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.

appears, press F1.
