Configuration Overview (Server 330)
Configuration Overview
Configuration is the process used to allocate resources to organize and
interconnect hardware devices and software programs. The steps required to
configure the server depend on the number and types of devices and programs
installed.
The server supports adapters and devices that comply with any of the
following standards:
- Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
- Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA)
- Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)
- Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
In general, the greater the number and variety of hardware devices
and software programs installed in the server, the more interaction
required with the server and the devices to correctly configure the system.
The server is shipped with the following hardware configuration
utility programs:
- The built-in Configuration/Setup utility program lets you
configure system board functions, such as serial and parallel port
assignments, change interrupt requests settings, and the startup sequence
for drives that you install. You also can use this utility program to set
passwords for starting up the server and accessing the Configuration/Setup
utility program.
- The EISA Configuration utility program on the PC Server 330 - Type 8640 PC Server 330 EISA Configuration
Diskette, lets you configure EISA and ISA adapters.
- The built-in SCSISelect utility program lets you
configure the SCSI devices that are install in the server.
You can use SCSISelect to change default values,
resolve configuration conflicts, and perform a low-level format
on a SCSI hard disk drive.
- Use the utility programs on the PC Server Utilities Diskette
to back up and restore the CMOS and NVRAM configuration data.
Before installing a new device or program, read the documentation
that were shipped with it.
Reading the instructions helps you determine the steps required for
installation and configuration.
The following actions are typically, but not always, required to
configure the server.
- Run the Configuration/Setup utility program
and record the current configuration settings.
- Set jumpers or switches on the server's system board.
- Set jumpers or switches on the device.
See the device installation instructions.
- Install the device in the server.
- Install software programs.
See the installation instructions that were shipped with the software.
- Resolve configuration conflicts.
