Updating the server configuration
When you start the server for the first time after you add or remove a device, you
might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Setup utility
starts automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings.
Some optional devices have device drivers that you must install. For information
about installing device drivers, see the documentation that comes with each device.
If the server has an optional RAID adapter and you have installed or removed a
hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the RAID adapter for
information about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
For information about configuring the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see
“Configuring the Ethernet controller” on page 52.
Instructions for IBM Business Partners
This section contains instructions for IBM Business Partners.
1. After you have confirmed that the server starts correctly and recognizes the
newly installed devices and that no error LEDs are lit, run the Dynamic System
Analysis (DSA) stress test. For information about using DSA, see “IBM
Dynamic System Analysis” on page 77.
2. Shut down and restart the server multiple times to ensure that the server is
correctly configured and functions correctly with the newly installed devices.
3. Save the DSA log as a file and send it to IBM. For information about
transferring data and logs, see “How to send DSA data to IBM.”
4. To ship the server, repackage it in the original undamaged packing material
and observe IBM procedures for shipping.
