The Configuration/Setup Utility program
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, defining diskette types, and so on).
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 from the Configuration/Setup Utility program, configuration
information is stored in electrically erasable programmable read-only memory
(EEPROM). While the server is off, the configuration information remains available
for the next system startup.
Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you add, remove, or relocate
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 option before making
changes.
To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program:
1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.
2. When the message
Press F1 for Configuration/Setup
appears, press F1.
Note: If you enter the power-on password and an administrator
(supervisor-level) password is also set, a limited version of the menu
appears. To see the full menu, you must restart the server and enter
the administrator password when you are prompted to enter a
password. See “System Security” on page 23 for additional
information.
The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu appears. For information about the
menu, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu” on page 21.
Notes:
a. When the message

the diagnostic programs. For information about running the diagnostic
programs, see “Diagnostic programs” on page 110.
