Configuring Your System
Configuring Your System
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 Resource Configuration Utility (RCU)
diskette. Also, several unique system parameters are
configured using BIOS Setup which is stored in the
system FLASH memory. A diskette is not needed to run
BIOS Setup.
A Utilities diskette contains the SCSISelect Utility and
the Event Log Utility. The Event Log Utility is used to
read stored system event information. The SCSISelect
Utility is used if you need to configure the SCSI
controller in your system or to perform a SCSI disk
format or verify disk operation of these drives.
If your system has been factory configured, the RCU,
BIOS Setup, or SCSISelect utilities do not need to be
run unless you want to change the password or security
features, add option boards or devices, or upgrade your
system board.
There are some system configuration parameters that
are set by jumpers on the system board. However, these
parameters do not usually require change.
This chapter provides procedures for running the RCU,
BIOS Setup, and the Utilities diskette. Also, sections
describing the I/O riser board function switch
configurations and the system board jumper
configurations are presented. Several configuration
tables are provided in this chapter to record changes
you make to the default system configuration.
You use the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to create the
RCU and Utilities diskettes.
