Chapter 3. Hardware Configuration
The different technologies used to implement the PC Server family require
different methods for configuration. Unfortunately, there is no one common
configuration program which can be run on a machine to completely configure it.
In most cases, multiple programs will need to be run in order to complete this
process.
This chapter gives instructions on using the various configuration programs and
when to use each one. There are some model dependencies, however. If you
see differences between what you see on your machine and what is documented
here, consult your handbook which comes with the system.
The configuration programs and a brief explanation of each are listed below:
•
Setup program
This program is used to configure system options on PCI/EISA/ISA machines.
The system options include such things as diskette and hard disk options,
video subsystem, and system memory.
•
EISA configuration utility
This utility is used to configure I/O adapters on PCI/EISA machines.
•
SCSI select utility
This utility allows you to configure the SCSI subsystem on PCI/EISA/ISA
machines.
•
System programs
These programs allow you to configure system options, I/O adapters, and the
SCSI subsystem on Micro Channel machines.
•
RAID utility
This utility allows you to configure the RAID subsystem on machines
equipped with this feature.
The following flowchart shows the steps necessary to configure the server
hardware:
