To change configuration settings:
) key to select the item you want to change, then, press Enter.
System Summary: Select this choice to display
configuration information, such as the type and speed of
the microprocessor, and amount of memory.
Changes that you make to configuration settings appear on
this summary screen. You cannot edit the fields.
System Information: Select this choice to display
information about the Netfinity 5000,
Changes that you make on other menus might appear on this summary screen.
Product Data: Select this choice to view system
information such as the machine type and model, the
system serial number, the system board identifier, and the
revision level or issue date of the flash electronically
erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM) and BIOS.
System Card Data: Select this choice to view the
system board model, submodel, system serial number,
system board identifier, DASD backplane identifier, and
identifiers for power supply 1 and power supply 2.
PCI Routing:
Select this choice to view the interrupt request (IRQ) settings for PCI adapters and for the Ethernet,
SCSI, and other controllers on the system board. See 'PCI Bus Control' for information about changing the
PCI IRQ settings.
Devices and I/O Ports: Software recognizes ports
from their port assignments. Each port must have a unique port assignment.
The Configuration/Setup Utility program normally handles this, but you might have special
hardware or software that requires you to change these assignments.
NOTE:
Serial port A can be shared by the system management processor and operating system.
Serial port B is used by the operating system only. Management port C is controlled exclusively by the
system management processor, cannot be used by the operating system, and cannot be configured using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the 'Advanced System Management Information' section
of this Server Library for information about configuring serial ports A and C.
Select the Devices and I/O Ports choice to view or
change the assignments for devices and input/output ports.
You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an
expansion slot. See the documentation that comes with
the serial adapter for information about port assignments.
You can configure the parallel port as standard, as bidirectional,
as an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP), or as an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP). Bidirectional, ECP, and
EPP are all bidirectional modes, in all three modes, data can be both read from and written to a device.
ECP and EPP are industry-standard, high-performance bidirectional modes. Which one of these modes you
choose depends on what mode the device supports.
NOTE: When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional,
ECP, or EPP, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3
meters (9.8 feet).
You can configure the mouse and diskette controller as enabled or disabled, and configure the type of diskette
drive.
You can view the type of video controller and the amount of video memory installed.
You can configure the IDE channel (enabled or disabled) and view the IDE Primary Master Device (type, size,
transfer selection and mode, and logical block addressing (LBA) mode).
To display or change the port assignments:
Date and Time: Select this choice to set the system date and time.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour/minute/second.
The system date is in standard format for the country. For example, in the United States,
the format is MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year).
Select Date and Time, then, use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>)
key to advance through each data field.
Type the new information, the system saves the information as you type it.
