Configuring the Workstation
System configuration is the process of specifying the devices and programs that make up a workstation
system. When you add or remove a hard drive, reconfigure the workstation to recognize these changes.
Turn your workstation on and read the messages that appear during startup.
If the system recognizes the new drive, information about the drive displays on the screen and you are
prompted to press F1 to save and continue.
If you are not prompted to press F1, there is a problem with the installation of the drive, and you need
to diagnose the problem. Start by reviewing the steps in this guide.
