Updating the Server Configuration Updating the Server Configuration When you start your server for the first time after you add, remove, or replace an internal option or an external SCSI device, a message might appear, indicating that the configuration has changed. The configuration settings need to be updated. This reconfiguration is performed automatically by the server or manually by you. When the server automatically configures an option, it uses system programs. However, you must save the new settings through the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the system programs do not update the settings, you can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to reconfigure the appropriate settings. For example, when you start your server after adding memory, the settings are automatically updated, and you use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to save those changes. However, if a resource conflict arises after an ISA legacy adapter is installed or removed, you must manually update the server configuration and save the information. Notes: 1. If you remove a SCSI device, the server might not recognize any SCSI devices that are still connected. See Chapter 5, "Solving Problems" for information about correcting this situation. 2. To run the Configuration/Setup Utility program, follow the instructions in "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program" on page 28. 3. When you add a hard disk drive and you want to include it in your startup sequence, use the Start Options selection of the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Start Options" on page 31). 4. When you install an ISA legacy adapter, you must allocate system resources to support it (see "ISA Legacy Resources" on page 40). 5. For more information handling resource conflicts, see "Resolving Configuration Conflicts" on page 42. Chapter 4. Installing Options 115
