Configuration/Setup Utility Program



Configuration/Setup Utility Program

Note: To print a copy of the hardware configuration, view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on), do the following:
  1.  Start the diagnostic programs (see 'Running Diagnostic Programs').
  2.  When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears,  select Hardware Info.


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 nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). 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 the following information that comes with the option before making changes. Also, record the current settings before making any 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'for additional information.


The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu appears. For information about the menu, see 'Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Main Menu'.
