Updating The Server Configuration - IBM x3650 - System M2 - 7947 User Manual

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
device, external SAS device, or USB keyboard or mouse, you might receive a
message that the configuration has changed. After the POST fails three times, the
Setup utility starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration
settings. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page
111.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the
documentation that comes with each optional device for information about installing
device drivers.
The server comes with at least one multi-core microprocessor, which enables the
server to operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to
upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For more information, see "Using the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 119 and the operating-system
documentation.
If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the LSI Configuration
Utility program" on page 126.
If you have installed a USB hypervisor memory key on the SAS riser card, see the
user's guide that comes with the hypervisor memory key. Hypervisor enables guest
operating systems to function on the server.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 125.
