Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 55
How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot
After installing any new internal option or external storage device, you must
perform a reconfiguration boot so that the operating system is able to recognize the
newly installed device(s). In addition, if you remove any device and do not install a
replacement device prior to rebooting the system, you must perform a
reconfiguration boot in order for the operating system to recognize the configuration
change. This requirement also applies to any component that is connected to the
system’s I

C bus, including memory modules, CPU/Memory boards, and power
supplies.
This requirement does not apply to any component that is:
■
Installed or removed as part of a hot-plug operation
■
Installed or removed before the operating system is installed or
■
Installed as an identical replacement for a component that is already recognized
by the operating system
Before You Begin
Caution –
Before you power on the system, make sure that the front and side doors
and all plastic outer panels are properly installed.
You need a system console in order to issue software commands; see:

“About Setting Up a Console” on page 45
What to Do
1. Turn on power to any peripherals and external storage devices.
Read the documentation supplied with the device for specific instructions.
2. Turn on power to the ASCII terminal or local graphics console, if present.
3. Insert the system key into the front panel keyswitch and turn it to the Diagnostics
position.
Use the Diagnostics position to run POST and OpenBoot Diagnostics tests to verify
that the system functions correctly with the new part(s) you just installed. See
“About the Status and Control Panel” on page 10 for information about keyswitch
settings.
