4. Install the device in the server. See "Locations/Removals" on page 160. If you install an ISA adapter that is not a Plug and Play device, select the Plug and Play choice on the main menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program to assign the ISA legacy resources. See "Plug and Play" on page 31 for more information. 5. Install software programs. See the installation instructions that come with the software. 6. Resolve configuration conflicts. See "Resolving configuration conflicts" on page 33. Configuration/Setup Utility program 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 (for example, defining diskette types, and so on). 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 from the Configuration/Setup Utility program, configuration information is stored in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). While the server is off, the configuration information remains available for the next system startup. Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you add, remove, or relocate any hardware option, or if you receive an error message instructing you to do so. Review this information and the information that comes with the option before making changes. Finally, should you ever need to restore the default configuration, the default configuration can be loaded by starting the system and then pressing the reset button four times, waiting 15 seconds between each press. Once the configuration has reset to the default, it must be saved in Setup to be stored in CMOS. To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program: 1. Turn on the server and watch the screen. 2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 21

Configuration/Setup Utility program
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 (for example, defining diskette
types, and so on).
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 from the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, configuration information is stored in nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM).
While the server is off,
the configuration information remains available for the next
system startup.
Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you
add, remove, or relocate any hardware option, or if you
receive an error message instructing you to do so.
Review
this information and the information that comes with the
option before making changes.
Finally, should you ever need to restore the default
configuration, the default configuration can be loaded by
starting the system and then pressing the reset button four
times, waiting 15 seconds between each press.
Once the
configuration has reset to the default, it must be saved in
Setup to be stored in CMOS.
To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program:
1.
Turn on the server and watch the screen.
2.
When the message
Press F1 for
Configuration/Setup
appears, press
F1.
