3-2 Configuring Your System
Configuring Your System
This Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system
configuration. You can configure your system, as well as option boards
you may add to your system, using the BIOS Setup Utility. Several
unique system parameters are configured using the BIOS Setup, which
is stored in the system FLASH memory.
You can also configure your system, including reserving resources
required by option boards, using the System Setup Utility (SSU). Also,
the SSU is used to read stored system event information. Information
on the SSU may be found in Appendix B of this User’s Guide.
The Symbios Configuration Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on
the system board. Use this utility if you need to configure the SCSI
controller in your system or to perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk
operation on the SCSI disk drives. The Symbios Configuration Utility is
also used to configure any SCSI removable media devices installed in
your system.
If your system has been factory configured, the SSU, BIOS Setup, or
Symbios Configuration Utility do not need to be run unless you want to
change the password or security features, add certain types of option
boards or devices, or upgrade your system board.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration
parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board. However,
these parameters do not usually require change.
Use the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to create the device driver and
SSU diskettes.
