Chapter 3
Configuring Your Server
This chapter describes the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) configuration.
When you install the server for the first time or install/remove optional devices, thoroughly read
this chapter for better understanding and correct setups.
Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration. You can configure
your system, as well as option boards you may add to your system, using the BIOS Setup Utility.
Several unique system parameters are configured using the BIOS Setup, which is stored in a
non-volatile memory.
The Adaptec Configuration Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the system board. Use this
utility if you need to configure the two SCSI controllers in your system or to perform a SCSI disk
format or verify disk operation on the SCSI disk drives. The Adaptec Configuration Utility is also
used to configure any SCSI removable media devices installed in your system.
If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS Setup or Adaptec Configuration Utility do
not need to be run unless you want to change the password or security features, add certain types of
option boards or devices, or upgrade your system board.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration parameters that are set by
jumpers on the system board. However, these parameters do not usually require change.
