8 Set and Save the Configuration
By default, the configuration is saved only to the local server and not to a file. If you wish to save
the configuration for later restoration on this server or for unattended configuration on an identical
server model, place a checkmark in the Save Server Configuration to Disk box. A Windows style
GUI is used to find the file location. The configuration may be saved to any removable media that
is formatted for FAT (FAT16) that is visible to the utility. (See Appendix B.)

of this server will start after the Continue button on the last screen is
pressed. The wizard will exit so that additional configuration changes cannot be made and the
configuration utilities will set up the server. The server will then be rebooted.
9 Server Configuration Utilities
There are multiple underlying utilities that SCW uses to perform the actual configuration or that are
available in the DOS partition. Most are platform dependent as is the list of which will be shown in
SCW. The DOS partition utilities include:
