Setup of system configuration

 

 

 

Setup of system configuration

If the system is used as it was configured at the factory, it was properly set up before shipment. However, if something optional is added to the system after shipment, or it is desired to change the operating condition properly for use, it is required to set up the system once again.

There are the following utilities prepared for setup of the system configuration.

See “System Configuration Setup” on page 138.

NOTE: When the system configuration has been changed, make a note of the configuration information.

BIOS setup utility

This utility software is designed to manage (set, store, etc.) the hardware resources of the server, for example: memory addresses, I/O ports, DMA channels, and interrupt levels.

The time on this server can be set by the BIOS setup utility or the OS you are using.

The RTC has a certain error, and the error is increased cumulatively if it is remained.

To avoid the harmful influence for the operation, adjust the clock periodically.

SCSI utility

The SCSI utility is to be used to set the SCSI controller of the SCSI riser card.

IDE RAID Setup utility

The IDE RAID Setup utility is to be used to set the IDE RAID controller.
