Updating the server configuration
Use this information to update the server configuration.
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, you
might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup utility
starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information
about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.
If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
