Server Software and Utilities Introduction This chapter describes the utilities supplied with the server. Server utilities include: • ServerWORKS Quick Launch This software is used to install a network operating system onto the server. The CD-ROM also contains various drivers and on-line documentation.
Server Software and Utilities ServerWORKS Quick Launch ServerWORKS Quick Launch is used to install the server’s Network Operating System (NOS). In addition to providing quick and seamless NOS installation, Quick Launch also provides drivers, documentation, and the ability to make diskettes of utilities such as diagnostics.
Server Software and Utilities System Configuration Utility (SCU) The server was pre-configured at the factory using the System Configuration Utility (SCU). This means that the server’s hardware (processor modules, memory, cache, mass storage devices, expansion boards, etc.) has been identified and configured for optimum performance.
Server Software and Utilities Configuring Expansion Boards Each time you add, remove, or relocate any EISA/ISA/PCI expansion board, you need to run the SCU to identify their operating characteristics, server resource requirements, and slot locations. Based on this information, the SCU will then automatically assign the proper server resources to EISA expansion boards, enable PCI boards, and inform you as to what jumper or switch settings need to be manually set on ISA expansion boards to avoid resource conflicts.
Page 28
Server Software and Utilities Start the SCU in one of three ways: 1. During the Quick Launch boot process, if a DOS partition was created, the SCU was copied to the partition on the hard disk drive. This allows you to run the SCU anytime from the DOS partition.

Server Software and Utilities RAID Configuration Utility RAID-ready DIGITAL Servers include a RAID adapter and RAID configuration utility. The RAID configuration utility appears when booting the server with the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disc. Use this utility to configure the RAID array.
Server Software and Utilities CAUTION: A crisis recovery diskette should be created before upgrading the server BIOS. When upgrading the BIOS, remove any video option cards and enable the onboard SVGA. In the rare event that you may need to use the crisis recovery diskette, the system will require that the onboard SVGA be used in this mode.
Server Software and Utilities Diagnostics Diagnostic software is shipped with every DIGITAL Server on the Quick Launch CD- ROM. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities for identifying and correcting problems with the server. The diagnostic software can be used to verify proper hardware installation and isolate intermittent problems that are not detected by the Power-On Self Test (POST).
