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
