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

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
