Server Configuration and Utilities

Auto-Configuration Process

The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the
first time. During the power-up sequence that occurs, the system ROM automatically
configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this process,
the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA) utility, in most cases,
automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives
connected to the server.

Table 5-1: Auto-Configuration Process

Drives Installed
1
2
3, 4, 5, or 6
More than 6
Note: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA
does not automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure
the array settings.
To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process,
press the F8 key when prompted.
By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for a Microsoft
Windows 2000 operating system and the English language. To change any default
settings in the auto-configuration process, such as the settings for language, operating
system, and primary boot controller, execute RBSU by pressing the F9 key when
prompted. After the settings are selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot
automatically.
