System Configuration Utility

Utilities

The Utilities choice controls some aspects of how the system generates configuration data. For example, the System Configuration Utility program can prompt the user to manually add boards. Press F9 from the Main Menu screen to access the Utilities screen.

Press the space bar to select an option. Refer to the following table for information on the choices on this menu.

Step 6: Exit

Recording the SCU Program Settings

Record the default configuration settings on a separate sheet then store the sheet in a safe place for future reference. If you have a printer attached to your server, you can use the Print Screen key to print these settings. The settings are helpful when you install additional options, or if the system requires service. Also, record the new settings each time you make changes. Be sure to record the current configuration settings in the tables in “Installed Device Records” on page 280.
