Configuration
Note
DASD and other adapters may require additional
configuration information.
Configuration is the allocation of the server resources to
organize and interconnect hardware devices and software
programs. The steps required to configure the server
depend on the number and variety of devices and
programs installed.
The PC Server 325 Type 8639 supports the following
types of adapters.
Ÿ
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
Ÿ
Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA)
Ÿ
Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)
The following hardware configuration utility programs are
supplied with the server.
Ÿ
Built-in Configuration/Setup program
Configures system board functions, such as the serial
and parallel port assignments. It also allows you to
set passwords for starting up and accessing the
Setup program, and allows IRQ assignments of PCI
devices.
Ÿ
PC Server 325 EISA Configuration Diskette
Configures EISA and ISA adapters.
Ÿ
Built-in SCSISelect Utility program
Configures SCSI devices. You can use SCSISelect
to change default values, resolve configuration
conflicts, and perform a low-level format on SCSI
hard disk drives.
Ÿ
PC Server Utilities diskette
Use the PC Server Utilities diskette to backup and
restore the CMOS and NVRAM configuration data.
Adapters:
Adding an adapter, such as a communication or audio
adapter, extends the capabilities and power of the server.
For example, a RAID (redundant array of independent
disks) adapter can enhance logical-drive capacity and
performance, and continue operation after a hard-disk
drive failure. Up to six adapters can be installed in the
connectors on the system board
Adapter Considerations:
Three types of adapters are available for the PC Server
325:
Ÿ
PCI adapters
Ÿ
EISA adapters
Ÿ
ISA adapters
