If the system fails to restart, follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE If you have installed an ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory board, you must reserve system resources for it by using the Setup Utility. Start the Setup Utility by pressing function key [F2] when prompted during the boot process. When the Setup Utility starts, select "Configuration," and then select "ISA non-Plugand-Play Devices." Use the arrow keys to highlight a selection, press ENTER to display its options, and use the +/- keys to change values. When you have finished, save the changes and exit the utility. For more information about reserving system resources, refer to Information Assistant and to "Configuring ISA Non-Plug-and-Play Board" in Chapter 4, "Accessories," in the HP NetServer LH 3/LH 3r User Guide. (If the system hangs before the Setup Utility starts, remove the ISA non-Plug-and-Play board, run the Setup utility to reserve system resources for it, then reinstall the board.)
