IBM 704 manual Using the Setup Program, Changing Settings

Setup Program

If your server came with a network adapter, use the network-adapter configuration program to configure and test the network adapter. Follow the instructions in your network-adapter documentation. If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, refer to the RAID adapter documentation for configuration information.

Using the Setup Program

The Setup program stores configuration values in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) and in the battery-backed memory of the real-time clock. Entries that you make in the System Configuration Utility program overwrite the entries made in the Setup program.

You perform much of the system configuration through the System Configuration Utility program, not the Setup program. Because the System Configuration Utility program resides on diskette, you must enable the diskette drive before using the System Configuration Utility. After configuring the system, you might prefer to secure it against casual or unauthorized access by running the Setup program to disable the diskette drive.

In most cases, the server operates using the default settings, and you need to change the settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or change device function (for example, defining diskette drive types).

Review this section and the information that came with the device before making changes. Also, record the current settings (see “Recording and Restoring Default Settings” on page 43) before making any changes.

Changing Settings

You can advance through the screens by pressing the Page Up

(PgUp) or Page Down (PgDn) key. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to advance through the items on the screen. Change selections by first advancing to the item that you want to change; then, use the plus key (+) or minus key (−) to make the change.
