3.4 Checking Your Workstation Configuration
The items following the 0 tells you what is in TURBOchannel option slot 0.
In the example, this slot contains a graphics card to which you can connect a
monitor. For more information about TURBOchannel option slot displays, turn
to the TURBOchannel Options User's Guide.
You can also use the configuration test to see what devices are connected to a
particular slot. To do this, type cnfg and the slot number and press Return.
For example, to see the configuration for slot 3, the base system module, you
would type cnfg 3.
The last several lines of the display you will see look something like this:
DEV PID VID
______________________________________________
rz2 RZ25 (C)DEC
tz5 TZK10
Look at the column headed DEV (device). This column lists the device code and
SCSI ID for each drive your system recognizes. All the SCSI drives connected
to the SCSI connector on the back of the system unit should be listed here. The
sample shows the internal hard disk, with SCSI ID 2, and a tape drive, with
SCSI ID 5.
The column headed PID (product ID) lists the names of the devices–in the
sample, RZ25 and TZK10. Some device names will not appear in this column,
so you should use the DEV column to verify the presence of SCSI drives.
Once you've turned on your workstation and checked its configuration, you're
ready to boot the workstation software.
If your workstation has factory-installed software, you will see a sticker on the
back of the system unit that reads: ''If this system contains a hard disk with
pre-installed software, see your Installation Guide before booting the system.''
If your workstation has factory-installed software, see the next section.
If your workstation will be accessing software through a network, see
Section 3.6.
If you will be installing software from an external drive, see Section 3.7.
