2 Change configuration
Change configuration allows you to change configuration information used
by the server. Use the Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Up and Down
arrow keys to move from field to field, and F5 and F6 to scroll through the
choices. Use F10 to save the changes to non-volatile CMOS RAM.
If a setting conflicts with another, an asterisk (*) appears next to the conflicts
and the word conflicts appears at the right corner of the windows. You must
remove all conflicts before the configuration can be saved.
Note: Some settings are set by the system and cannot be overridden. The
user can change only those settings that have not been set by the system.
These are the settings enclosed in brackets (
[..]).
3 Backup configuration
This makes a copy of the configuration information stored in CMOS RAM to
the hard disk system partition or to the reference diskette. Back up the
configuration of your server every time an adapter is added, removed or a
configuration assignment is changed.
4 Restore configuration
This retrieves the configuration information that the user saved previously
with the backup configuration program and restores this information to the
CMOS RAM.
5 Run automatic configuration
This verifies and updates the configuration information. Use this program
after an adapter is added or removed or to configure the server. The
automatic configuration program sets system-board features first, and then
adapters one at time, starting with the lowest numbered slot.
After you use this choice, select Backup configuration to make a copy of the
new configuration information.
Notes:
1. Running automatic configuration resets parameters to their default
values.
2. This option can be used whenever the default values for adapters will be
adequate. If the default values need to be changed, then you must use
the Change configuration option discussed previously. Often, the
automatic configuration can be used as a starting point to ensure no
settings conflict. Then, the change configuration can be used to fine
tune any desired settings.
3. If you had a configuration where specific values were required and you
experience problems after running automatic configuration, you need to
change the parameters back to the required values.
6 Display memory map
This displays how memory in the address range 0C0000H through 0DFFFFH
is being used by any adapters installed in the server. It identifies each
device using this space by name and shows the addresses being used by
that device.
This choice is helpful to determine what parts of the memory in the server
are not being used (for example, to find space available for an expanded
