Reconfiguring the server and updating, server records

Page 67 highlights

Reconfiguring the server and updating server records: When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the configuration has changed. Device drivers Some options have device drivers that you need to install. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for information about installing any required device drivers. DIMMs If you replaced a defective DIMM, you must manually enable the DIMM slot in the Configuration/Setup utility program. In this case, the system does not automatically access the Configuration/Setup utility program to enable the DIMM slot. See "Memory settings" on page 31 for additional information. Processors The Netfinity 8500R server comes with at least one processor installed on the standard processor daughterboard. If you have installed one or more additional processors, the server can now operate as an SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade the operating system. Refer to the operating-system documentation for additional information. If you replaced a defective processor, you must manually enable the processor slot in the Configuration/Setup utility program. In this case, the system does not automatically access the Configuration/Setup utility program to enable the processor slot. See "Processor settings" on page 31 for additional information. Reconfiguring the server Run the Configuration/Setup utility program to save the new configuration information. See "Configuring the server" on page 18. Updating server records Record your updated device and configuration information. Netfinity 8500R - Type 8681 59
