Check Your Configuration Displays
The configuration test tells you which option modules are in
your system unit. It identifies each module in your system unit
by slot number and by a special option module code.
Use the cnfg command to check the workstation configuration,
in Chapter 11, see section ''cnfg'', on page 11-11. Check to be
sure that the screen display lists all the modules ordered for
your workstation. The packing list for your shipment shows the
modules you ordered.
