Exit Setup
If you have made any changes, you will be asked if you want to save the changes
or exit without saving the changes.
Configuring options
Before installing a new device or program, read the documentation that comes with
it. Reading the instructions helps you to determine the steps that are required for
installation and configuration. The following list provides a preview of the actions
that might be required to configure your server.
1. Run the Configuration/Setup Utility program and record the current
configuration settings.
See “The Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 20.
2. Set jumpers or switches on the server components.
See “Changing jumper positions” on page 103.
3. Set jumpers or switches on the device.
See the instructions that come with the adapter.
4. Install the adapter in the server.
See “Working with adapters” on page 53.
5. Install software programs.
See the installation instructions that come with the software.
6. Resolve configuration conflicts.
See “Resolving configuration conflicts.”
Resolving configuration conflicts
The resources used by your server consist of interrupt requests, direct memory
access, I/O port addresses, and memory. This information is useful when a
resource configuration conflict occurs.
Conflicts in the configuration occur if:
A device is installed that requires the same resource as another device. (For
example, a conflict occurs when two adapters try to write to the same address
space.)
A device resource is changed (for example, changing jumper settings).
A device function is changed (for example, assigning COM1 to two serial ports).
A software program is installed that requires the same resource as a hardware
device.
The steps required to resolve a configuration error are determined by the number
and variety of hardware devices and software programs that you install. If a
hardware configuration error is detected, a configuration error message appears
after the server completes POST and before the operating system is loaded. You
can bypass the error by pressing Esc while the error message is displayed.
