Configuration/Setup utility program
Configuration/Setup utility program
For most configurations, the server will operate using the
default system settings. You need to change the settings
only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or
change device functions.
When you want or need to change the default settings, the
Configuration/Setup Utility program provides a convenient
way to display and change the settings.
After you run and exit the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, configuration information is stored in electrically
erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
While the server is powered off, the configuration
information remains available for the next system startup.
Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you
receive an error message instructing you to do so. If you
installed or removed SCSI devices, run the
SCSISelect utility program).
Review the information that comes with the option before making changes.
When you restart the server for the first time after working
with most options, a message appears, indicating that a
configuration change has occurred. You are then
prompted to enter the Configuration/Setup Utility program
to manually update the configuration settings or to confirm
and save the settings that were automatically updated by the system programs.
After you change an option and restart the server, the
following screen might appear.
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| POST Startup Error(s) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| The following error(s) were detected when the system was |
| started: |

+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Note:
Depending on the configuration changes that occurred,
the error message that you see might be different from the one shown here.
If the preceding screen appears, select Continue until you
reach the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, then, go to
Configuration/Setup utility program menus.
If the preceding screen does not appear, use the following
procedures to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu.
To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program:
- Power-on the server and watch the screen.
If the server is already turned on, power-off the
server, wait a few seconds until all in-use lights go
off, and then power the server back on. (Do not use
Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the server.)
- When the message
Press F1 to enter Configuration/Setup
appears, press F1. The
Configuration/Setup Utility program menu appears.
For information about the menus, see
Configuration/Setup utility program menus.
Notes:
- If an administrator password is not set, the
Configuration/Setup Utility program starts once
you complete the startup procedure.
- If an administrator password is set, but a
power-on password is not set, you must enter the
administrator password to access the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
- If you have set both an administrator and a
power-on password, you can enter either one.
However, to change any settings in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must
enter the administrator password. If you enter
the power-on password, you can view limited
information in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, but you cannot change any settings.
- If a configuration error occurs, a prompt appears
before the operating system starts (see
Configuration conflicts).
