Configuring Your System

Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration. You can configure your system, as well as option boards you may add to your system, using the System Configuration Utility (SCU) diskette delivered with your system. Also, several unique system parameters are configured using BIOS Setup which is stored in the system FLASH memory. A diskette is not needed to run BIOS Setup.

The SCSISelect Utility is used if you need to configure either of the SCSI controllers in your system or to perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk operation of these drives.

If your system has been factory configured, the SCU, BIOS Setup, or SCSISelect utilities do not need to be run unless you want to change the password or security features, add option boards or devices, or upgrade your system board.

There are some system configuration parameters that are set by jumpers. However, these parameters do not usually require change.

Finally, the EZ-SCSI utility is included with your system on diskette. This program performs MS-DOS driver installation for SCSI devices in your system and also installs basic utilities that format and manage SCSI hard disk drives. Refer to the documentation on the utility diskette for more information.

This chapter provides procedures for running the SCU, BIOS Setup, and the SCSISelect utility. Also, a section describing the system jumper configurations is presented. Several configuration tables are provided in this chapter to record changes you make to the default system configuration.
