If a setting conflicts with another, an asterisk(*) appears next to the conflicts and the word conflicts appears at the right corner of the windows. You must remove all conflicts before the configuration can be saved.

Note

Some settings are set by the system and can not be overridden. The user can change only those settings which have not been set by the system. These are the settings enclosed in brackets( [..]).

3.Backup configuration

This makes a copy of the configuration information stored in CMOS RAM to the hard disk system partition or to the reference diskette. Back up the configuration of your server every time an adapter is added, removed or a configuration assignment is changed.

4.Restore configuration

This retrieves the configuration information that the user saved previously with Backup configuration program and restores this information to the

CMOS RAM.

5.Run automatic configuration

This verifies and updates the configuration information. Use this program after an adapter is added or removed, to configure the server. The automatic configuration program sets system-board features first, and then adapters one at time, starting with the lowest numbered slot.

After you use this choice, select Backup configuration to make a copy of the new configuration information.

Notes

Running automatic configuration resets parameters to their default values.

This option can be used whenever the default values for adapters will be adequate. If the default values need to be changed, then you must use the Change configuration option discussed previously. Often, the automatic configuration can be used as a starting point to ensure no settings conflict. Then, the change configuration can be used to fine tune any desired settings.

If you had a configuration where specific values were required and you experience problems after running automatic configuration, you need to change the parameters back to the required values.

6.Display memory map

This displays how memory in the address range 0C0000H through 0DFFFFH is being used by any adapters installed in the server. It identifies each device using this space by name and shows the addresses being used by that device.

This choice is helpful to determine what parts of the memory in the server are not being used (for example to find space available for an Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) page frame). Figure 43 on page 90 shows a Memory Map screen.
