6 Copy an options diskette
Micro Channel machines use configuration files called adapter descriptor files (.ADF files) in order to know what parameters and values are available for the adapter. This option copies configuration and diagnostic files from an option diskette to the system partition or to the backup copy of the system programs diskettes. The server needs these files to make the new options operational.
Attention!
This utility will prompt you for both the reference diskette and the diagnostic diskette so that the proper programs can be copied from the adapter option diskette to these diskettes. Make sure that you have copies of both diskettes before you select this utility. These diskettes can be obtained from Diskette Factory on the ServerGuide CD.
7 Test the computer
Run diagnostics on the system hardware. These tests show if the hardware is working properly. If a hardware problem is detected, an error message appears explaining the cause of the problem and the action to take.
