Configuration Overview
Configuration Overview
You play a key role in how your server allocates resources to
organize and interconnect hardware devices and software programs.
This allocation process is referred to as configuration. The steps
required to configure your server depend on the number and types
of devices and programs that you install.
Your server supports several types of adapters and SCSI devices.
This flexibility lets you choose from among thousands of adapters
and devices that comply with any of the following standards:
Ÿ
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
Ÿ Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA)
Ÿ Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)
Ÿ Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
In general, the greater the number and variety of hardware devices
and software programs that you install in your server, the more you
will have to interact with your server and your devices to correctly
configure your system.
Your server comes with the following hardware configuration utility
programs:
Ÿ The built-in Configuration/Setup utility program lets you
configure system board functions, such as serial and parallel
port assignments, change interrupt requests settings, and the
startup sequence for drives that you install. You also can use
this utility program to set passwords for starting up the server
and accessing the Configuration/Setup utility program.
Ÿ The EISA Configuration utility program on the PC Server 330
EISA Configuration Diskette, lets you configure EISA and ISA
adapters.
Ÿ The built-in SCSISelect utility program lets you configure the
SCSI devices that you install in your server. You can use
SCSISelect to change default values, resolve configuration
conflicts, and perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk
drive.
