Configuring the Modem

Configuring a non “plug-n-play” ISA Modem

The Compaq System Configuration Utility does not automatically detect non plug-n-play ISA devices. Therefore, you must manually account for system resources used by an installed ISA modem. To configure the modem:

1.Boot the server and run the Compaq System Configuration Utility. This utility can be run from floppies or by booting the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD included with your server. If you created a system partition during the initial setup of the server, you can invoke this utility by pressing the F10 key when prompted during the server’s power-on-self-test sequence.

2.Select the System Configuration menu option from the utilities main menu.

3.Select Configure Hardware from the configuration menu.

4.Select Step 2: Add or Remove Boards from the System Configuration main menu.

5.Press Insert to manually add a board to the server configuration.
