Depending on the options that you installed, after cabling the server, you might
need to run the Configuration/Setup Utility program to update the server
configuration. For more information, see "Updating the server configuration" and the
User's Guide on the IBM Eserver Documentation CD.
Updating the server configuration
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or an external SCSI device, you might see a message telling you that the
configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program automatically
starts so that you can save the new configuration information. For more information,
see the section about configuring the server in the User's Guide on the IBM
Eserver Documentation CD.
Some options have device drivers that you need to install. See the documentation
that comes with the option for information about installing any required device
drivers.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor installed on the system board. If
you have installed an additional microprocessor, the server can now operate as an
SMP server. Therefore, you might need to upgrade the operating system to support
SMP. For additional information, see 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 configuring disk arrays.
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers, see the section about
configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers in the User's Guide on the IBM
Eserver Documentation CD.
