Running the System
Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility is used to configure the hardware
installed in or connected to the server easily. This utility allows
the server to know how each piece of hardware should be handled when
communicating with it.
The System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of configuration
activities, including the following:
Configures PCI boards automatically
Provides switch and jumper settings
Resolves resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupts (IRQs)
Manages the installation of memory, processor upgrades, and mass
storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and diskette drives
Sets and stores power-on features like date and time
Stores configuration information in nonvolatile memory
Assists in the installation of the operating system
Assists in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT

System Configuration Utility

The Compaq System Configuration Utility can be run directly from the Compaq
SmartStart and Support Software CD supplied with the SMART-2DH Array
Controller Option Kit and the Compaq server. You may already have a version of
this utility in the system partition of the boot disk; however, you will need
Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD version 3.40 or later. Compaq
recommends that you use the version of the utility supplied on the CD because it
is the latest one that supports the SMART-2DH Controller.
