Step 1: Important Resource Configuration Information

Step 2: Add or remove boards

Step 3: View or edit details

Step 4: Examine switches or print report

Step 5: Save and exit

The Step 1: Important Resource Configuration Information option uses seven
information screens to explain the configuration process. After reading the first
screen, press <Enter> to see the next one. When you have finished reading all seven
screens, press <Esc> to return to the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu.
To review the information screens at any time while you are in the RCU, press <F1>
and select Resource Configuration from the Help menu.
This step is not used on PCI-only systems.
The RCU lets you set a variety of system options through the .sci file. Through this
file, you can notify the system of changes to your hardware and memory configura-
tion, manage input/output (I/O) ports, and set other system operating parameters.
Some of the categories do not offer options, but reflect installed hardware detected
by the system. These items are displayed for your information only; you cannot
change them through the utility.
Display the list of system board options as follows:
1. Start the RCU as described in "Starting the Resource Configuration Utility" found
earlier in this chapter.
2. At the Main Menu, select Configure Computer.
3. At the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu, select Step 3: View or Edit
.
