The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more information, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 54. Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device. The server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 62 and the operating-system documentation. If the server has a RAID configuration that uses an optional RAID controller and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID controller for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. If the server has a RAID configuration that uses the integrated SAS controller with RAID capabilities and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, you might have to reconfigure the disk arrays. For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 64. 52 IBM System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 Type 7141: User's Guide

Updating
the
server
configuration
When
you
start
the
server
for
the
first
time
after
you
add
or
remove
an
internal
optional
device
or
external
SAS
or
SCSI
device,
you
might
receive
a
message
that
the
configuration
has
changed.
The
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
starts
automatically
so
that
you
can
save
the
new
configuration
settings.
For
more
information,
see
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
54.
Some
optional
devices
have
device
drivers
that
you
must
install.
For
information
about
installing
device
drivers,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
each
device.
The
server
can
operate
as
a
symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
server.
You
might
have
to
upgrade
the
operating
system
to
support
SMP.
For
more
information,
see
“Using
the
ServerGuide
Setup
and
Installation
CD”
on
page
62
and
the
operating-system
documentation.
If
the
server
has
a
RAID
configuration
that
uses
an
optional
RAID
controller
and
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
RAID
controller
for
information
about
reconfiguring
the
disk
arrays.
If
the
server
has
a
RAID
configuration
that
uses
the
integrated
SAS
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
and
you
have
installed
or
removed
a
hard
disk
drive,
you
might
have
to
reconfigure
the
disk
arrays.
For
information
about
configuring
the
integrated
Gigabit
Ethernet
controller,

“Configuring
the
Gigabit
Ethernet
controller”
