Running AlphaBIOS-Based Utilities
Depending upon the type of hardware you have, you may have to run
hardware configuration utilities. Hardware configuration diskettes
are shipped with your system or with options that you order.
Typical configuration utilities include:
RAID standalone configuration utility for setting up RAID devices
KZPSA configuration utility for configuring SCSI adapters
These utilities are run from the AlphaBIOS console
Utilities can be run either in graphics or serial mode. The SRM console
environment variable controls which mode AlphaBIOS runs in at the time it is
loaded by the SRM console.
If you are running Windows NT, your monitor is already in graphics mode. If
you are running UNIX or OpenVMS and you have a VGA monitor attached, set
the console environment variable to graphics and enter the init command to
reset the system before invoking AlphaBIOS.
