Using the Compaq System
Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities including the following:
Configures PCI and EISA boards automatically
Provides switch and jumper settings
Resolves resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupt requests (IRQs)
Manages the installation of mass storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives and diskette drives
Sets and stores power-on features like date and time
Stores configuration information in non-volatile memory
Assists in the installation of the operating system
Assists in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT
The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system partition and installs the configuration utility and other
Compaq utilities in that partition.
IMPORTANT: This is a Compaq-specific system utilities partition
and should not be confused with the partition(s) created by your
operating system.
NOTE : The System ROM automatically configures memory and processor
changes in Compaq ProLiant 5000 servers.
