Setup of System Operation

The following properties can be set as the operation setup of the whole system. Quick dump

If this property is enabled (by checking "Enable" on the setup screen), the dump is acquired in parallel with the system startup if a fault occurs in the system. If this property is disabled, the dump is acquired by the dump function normally provided by OS.

The initial setup value is "Enable." Auto firmware update

If a new CPU module containing BIOS different from that of the existing CPU module in version with this property being enabled (by checking "Enable" on the setup screen), the BIOS of the new CPU module is updated to the BIOS of the existing CPU module to match with each other. If this property is disabled, the BIOS of the new CPU module is not updated automatically.

The initial setup value is "Enable." Auto module start

If this property is enabled (by checking "Enable" on the setup screen), the CPU or PCI module newly inserted is automatically started to be operable. If this property is disabled, the module is not started automatically.

The initial setup value is "Enable."

IMPORTANT: In the NEC Express5800/ft series with ft control software 3.0 or later, this property must be "Enable." Never specify "Disable."

The system operation can be set on [FTServer] tree→[General] screen of the ft server utility.

The table below shows the potential cases in which the system operation setup is changed. Contact your maintenance personnel for the change of the system operation setup. Setting change will take effect after system reboot. However, the utility does not indicate that reboot is required.
