1. Determine your current configuration.
Refer to your operating system documentation to find out how to get
configuration information by using an operating system command.
You can also obtain configuration information about your system when the
server is in console mode. Once the server is in console mode, you can find
configuration information as follows:
If you are running the Windows NT operating system, get a list of your
system's modules and devices by accessing the Windows NT (ARC) console
and accessing the Supplementary menu. Choose the "Display hardware
configuration" menu item to see the "Devices detected by the firmware"
display. Note that this display lists tape drives as unsupported. Installed PCI
and EISA devices are listed on separate screen displays.
If you are running the Digital UNIX or OpenVMS Alpha operating systems,
get a list of your system modules and devices by entering the show
config command at the console prompt.
2. Determine your new configuration.
You can obtain a current list of supported options from several sources,
including:
The Digital FTP archive on the Internet
CompuServe
Digital Systems and Options Catalog
3. Determine whether you can install the new option yourself, or whether you
need to contact a qualified service person.
