Configuring Hardware
When you select the Configure Hardware menu, a screen with five steps is
displayed. Below is a listing of each step with a brief explanation.
Step 1: Important System Configuration Information
This step provides an overview of the configuration process.
Step 2: Add or Remove Boards
Use this step to add the non Plug and Play ISA boards to the configuration or
remove any boards from the configuration. You do not need to choose this
option to add or remove PCI boards, or ISA Plug and Play boards. These boards
are added and removed from the System Configuration automatically during the
System Configuration Utility initialization.
Step 3: View or Edit Details
Most ISA Plug and Play boards allow the board to be set to one of two modes.
The modes are most commonly referred to as "Plug and Play" and "Legacy"
mode. If a board is set to "Legacy" mode, usually through a jumper setting on
the board, or through configuration software that ships with the board, then the
board is treated as though it was a normal ISA board. If adding an ISA Plug
and Play board which is set to "Legacy" mode, then you must use "Step 2: Add
or Remove Boards" to add the board to the system configuration.
The Compaq ProLiant 850R server employs a system architecture with an
expansion slot that must share system resources with one of the embedded
system devices. A PCI expansion board in slot 3 must share an interrupt with
the embedded PCI Network Interface card. Refer to Chapter 3, "Installing
Hardware Options," for a diagram showing the position of slot 3. If interrupt
resources are changed by the user using the System Configuration Utility for
one of the shared devices, then both devices will be changed.
Use this step to make necessary configuration changes.
