Configuration/Setup utility For most configurations, the server will operate using the default system settings. You need to change the settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or change device functions. When you want or need to change the default settings, the Configuration/Setup Utility program provides a convenient way to display and change the settings. After you run and exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program, configuration information is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). While the server is powered off, the configuration information remains available for the next system startup. Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you add or remove any hardware option, or if you receive an error message instructing you to do so. Review this chapter and the information that comes with the option before making changes. Also, record the current settings before making any changes.
