Starting the Setup Program

To access the Setup program:

1.Remove all diskettes from the server.

2.Turn on the server and watch the screen. Be ready to act quickly.

3.Immediately after the system initialization procedure begins and before the IBM logo screen appears, the system prompts you to Press <F1> if you want to run SETUP. As soon as you see that prompt, press F1. If the Setup program screen does not appear, restart your system and try again.

Note: If a configuration error occurs, a prompt appears before the operating system starts (see “Configuration Conflicts” on page 61).

4.If you have set a user or administrative password, the system prompts you to enter it. If you have set both passwords, enter either one.

5.Follow the instructions on the screen to view or change the configuration.

You must correctly exit from the Setup program to save the configuration information.
