IBM 8681 Hardware Maintenance Manual - Page 29

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 chapter and the information that comes with the option before making changes. Also, record the current settings before making any changes. Attention Maintaining a record of the configuration information is especially important if you need to move the Clear CMOS register contents jumper, which erases all configuration information (see "I/O function card jumpers" on page 121 for details). To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program: 1. Ensure that there is no diskette in the diskette drive. If the diskette drive contains a diskette, remove it. 2. Turn on the server and watch for the IBM logo screen. If the server is turned on already, shut down the operating system and restart the server. 3. After you start the server, several prompts appear on the IBM logo screen. When the prompt Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1. The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu appears. For information on the menu, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu." Note If you enter the power-on password and an administrator (supervisor-level) password is also set, a limited version of the menu appears. To see the full menu, you must restart the server and enter the administrator password when you are prompted to enter a password. See "System security" on page 24 for additional information. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu From the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu, you can select settings that you want to change. The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu is similar to the following screen. Note The choices on some menus might differ slightly, depending on the BIOS version that comes with the server.
