System Configuration Utility (Scu); When To Run The Scu - Digital Equipment 3100R Series Service Maintenance Manual

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. If configuration changes are required, DIGITAL recommends
that the SCU be used along with the information provided in this section.
Refer to "Starting the SCU" described later in this section.
Refer to Chapter 3, "SCU Features," for more details about the SCU.
Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Getting Started guide and the
README.TXT file, which is located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM, for additional
information.

When to Run the SCU

Always run the SCU each time you add, remove, or relocate ISA, PCI and/or EISA
expansion boards to reconfigure server resources (IRQs). Always run the SCU if the
main logic board changed, or after adding a processor module.
If the main logic board changes or a processor module is added, run the SCU (select
the option "Configure Computer") to update the serial numbers of the components.
For more information on how to change the serial numbers, refer to Chapter 4,
"Obtaining Information About The Server."
Typically, the server displays a message such as Run SCU Utility.....Press
F1 to Continue. Select how to access and run the SCU by following the
instructions displayed on the SCU screens.
