Configuring Hardware
When you select the Configure Hardware menu, a screen with five steps
displays. Following is a brief explanation of each step:
Step 1: Important System Configuration Information
This step provides an overview of the configuration process
Step 2: Add or Remove Boards
Use this step to add the non-Plug and Play ISA boards to the configuration or
remove any boards from the configuration. You do not need to choose this
option to add or remove PCI boards, or ISA Plug and Play boards. These
boards are added and removed from the system configuration automatically
during the System Configuration Utility initialization.
Most ISA Plug and Play boards allow the board to be set to one of two modes.
The modes are most commonly referred to as "Plug and Play" and "Legacy"
mode. If a board is set to "Legacy" mode, usually through a jumper setting on
the board, or through configuration software that ships with the board, then
the board is treated as though it was a normal ISA board. If you are adding an
ISA Plug and Play board which is set to "Legacy" mode, then you must use
Step 2: Add or Remove Boards to add the board to the system configuration.
The Compaq ProLiant 800 employs a system architecture with expansion slots
that must share system resources with two of the ProLiant 800's embedded
system devices. A PCI expansion board in slot 3 must share an interrupt with
the embedded PCI Network Interface card, and similarly, a PCI expansion
board in slot 4 must share an interrupt with the embedded PCI SCSI-2
Controller. If interrupt resources are changed by the user using the System
Configuration Utility for one of the shared devices, then both devices will be
changed.
Step 3: View or Edit Details
Use this step to make necessary configuration changes.
