Updating The Server Configuration - IBM x3850 X5 7145 Installation And User Manual

The following illustration shows the locations of the input and output connectors on
the rear of the server.

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, you
might receive a message that the configuration has changed. 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 61.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information
about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For
more information, see "Typical operating-system installation" on page 69 and the
operating-system documentation.
If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 72.
