Switching From Srm To Arc Console; Isa Configuration Utilities; Iconfig Utility - HPE AlphaServer 300 User Manual

Switching from SRM to ARC console

To switch from the SRM console to the ARC console, follow these steps:
•
At the SRM prompt, type >>>set os_type nt
•
Power cycle the server. (Leave the system off for at least 20 seconds.)
•
The ARC console Boot menu appears.

ISA Configuration Utilities

ISA devices are not capable of being probed for configuration information by the Digital
UNIX or OpenVMS operating systems. Therefore, you must configure ISA option
information manually before installing a new ISA option module on an AlphaServer 300
system running either Digital UNIX or OpenVMS.
There are two SRM utilities that can be used to configure ISA options: the ICONFIG
utility and the ISACFG utility.
•
The ICONFIG utility is a subset of the ISACFG utility. ICONFIG contains scripts to
configure one module of each of the three following types: DE205 Ethernet card,
PBXJA-AA sound card, and PB2GA-FB graphics card.
•
The ISACFG utility is a command line utility. It is useful for configuring more than
one ISA module of each type, for example a second DE205 card or two non-Digital
ISA options.
The ICONFIG utility and the ISACFG utility are described in the following sections.

ICONFIG Utility

To start the ICONFIG utility, type iconfig at the SRM console prompt. The following
display appears. Note that the ISA options shown below are factory configured and cannot
be deleted.
