Configuring Your System - NEC EXPRESS5800 LC1400 series User Manual

Configuring Your System

Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration.
You can configure your system, as well as option boards you may add to your
system, using the BIOS Setup Utility. Several unique system parameters are
configured using the BIOS Setup, which is stored in the system FLASH
memory.
You can also configure your system, including reserving resources required by
the option boards, using the System Setup Utility (SSU). Also, the SSU is used
to read stored system event information. Information on the SSU may be found
in Appendix B of this User's Guide.
The Symbios Configuration Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the system
board. Use this utility if you need to configure the two SCSI controllers in your
system or to perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk operation on the SCSI
disk drives. The Symbios Configuration Utility is also used to configure any
SCSI removable media devices installed in your system.
If your system has been factory configured, the SSU, BIOS Setup, or Symbios
Configuration Utility do not need to be run unless you want to change the
password or security features, add certain types of option boards or devices, or
upgrade your system board.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration
parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board. However, these
parameters do not usually require change.
