Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
option or external SAS or SCSI device, you might receive a message that the
configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup Utility program starts
automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings. For more
information, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 56.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. For information about
installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each option.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. For
more information, see "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page
61 and 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 reconfiguring the disk arrays.
If you have installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine to manage the server
remotely, see the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine User's Guide, which
comes with the adapter, for information about setting up, configuring, and using the
adapter.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 63.
