Updating The Server Configuration - IBM System x3620 M3 7376 Installation And User Manual

Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove an internal
device, external SAS device, or USB keyboard or mouse, you might receive a
message that the configuration has changed. After the POST fails three times, the
Setup utility starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration
settings. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring the server," on page 89.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. See the
documentation that comes with each optional device for information about installing
device drivers.
The server comes with at least one multi-core microprocessor, which enables the
server to 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 96 and the operating-system
documentation.
If you have installed or removed a hard disk drive, see "Using the LSI Logic
Configuration Utility program" on page 102 or "Starting the Intel Matrix Storage
Manager option ROM program" on page 105.
If you have installed a USB hypervisor memory key on the system daughter board,
see the documentation that comes with the hypervisor memory key. Hypervisor
enables guest operating systems to function on the server.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 101.
