The RCU lets you set a variety of system options through the .sci file. Through this file, you can notify the system of changes to your hardware and memory configura- tion, manage input/output (I/O) ports, and set other system operating parameters.

Some of the categories do not offer options, but reflect installed hardware detected by the system. These items are displayed for your information only; you cannot change them through the utility.

Display the list of system board options as follows:

1.Start the RCU as described in “Starting the RCU” found earlier in this chapter.

2.At the Main Menu, select Configure Computer.

3.At the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu, select Step 3: View or Edit Details.

A list of system board options appears on the screen. Figure 5-1 shows settings typical for your system.

NOTE: Whenever you add an expansion card to the computer, its presence is reflected by changes to the System Board Options screen.
