Configuration Overview You play a key role in how the server allocates resources to organize and interconnect hardware devices and software programs. This allocation process is referred to as configuration. The steps required to configure the server depend on the number and types of devices and programs that you install. The server supports PCI adapters and SCSI devices. Because of this flexibility, you can choose from among many adapters and devices. In general, the greater the number and variety of hardware devices and software programs that you install in the server, the more you will have to interact with the server and the devices to correctly configure the system. The server comes with the following hardware configuration programs: Configuration/Setup Utility With the built-in Configuration/Setup Utility program, you can configure I/O functions, such as serial and parallel port assignments; change interrupt request (IRQ) settings; and change the startup sequence for drives that you install. You also can use this program to set passwords for starting up the server and accessing the Configuration/Setup Utility program. SCSISelect Utility With the built-in SCSISelect Utility, you can configure the SCSI devices that you attach to the SCSI controller. You can use SCSISelect to change default values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive. Netfinity 7000-M10 - Type 8680 23

Configuration Overview
You play a key role in how the server allocates resources
to organize and interconnect hardware devices and
software programs.
This allocation process is referred to
as
configuration.
The steps required to configure the
server depend on the number and types of devices and
programs that you install.
The server supports PCI adapters and SCSI devices.
Because of this flexibility, you can choose from among
many adapters and devices.
In general, the greater the number and variety of hardware
devices and software programs that you install in the
server, the more you will have to interact with the server
and the devices to correctly configure the system.
The server comes with the following hardware
configuration programs:
±
Configuration/Setup Utility
With the built-in Configuration/Setup Utility program,
you can configure I/O functions, such as serial and
parallel port assignments; change interrupt request
(IRQ) settings; and change the startup sequence for
drives that you install.
You also can use this program
to set passwords for starting up the server and
accessing the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

SCSISelect Utility
With the built-in SCSISelect Utility, you can configure
the SCSI devices that you attach to the SCSI
controller.
You can use SCSISelect to change default
values, resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a
low-level format on a SCSI hard disk drive.
