The Setup utility starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page 99. 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 comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor is installed, 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 "Typical operating-system installation" on page 109 and the operating-system documentation. If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for information about reconfiguring the disk arrays. For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 113. Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 97

Updating the server configuration
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, you
might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup utility
starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more
information, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the server,” on page 99.
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 comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, 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 “Typical operating-system installation” on page 109 and the
operating-system documentation.
If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
