Compaq ProLiant 1850R Setup and Installation Guide
Chapter 5
Server Configuration and
Utilities
This chapter discusses many configuration options including, how to use the
Compaq System Configuration Utility and Compaq SmartStart, and how to load
device drivers.
Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities, including:
Automatically configuring PCI and ISA Plug and Play boards
Providing switch and jumper settings
Resolving resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupt requests (IRQ)
Managing the installation of mass storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives, and diskette drives
Setting and storing power-on features like date and time
Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory
Assisting in installing an operating system
Assisting in running diagnostic tools such as Test and Inspect Utilities
If the SmartStart and Support Software CD is used the first time the server is
configured, the SmartStart program automatically creates a system partition and
installs the System Configuration Utility and other Compaq utilities in that
partition.
IMPORTANT:
This Compaq system utilities partition should not be confused
with the partition(s) created by your operating system.
In ProLiant 1850R servers, the system ROM automatically configures the
system when adding or removing memory, second processor, or PCI expansion
boards.
