Updating the server configuration
This topic provides information about the server configuration tasks that you might need to perform when
you add and remove devices.
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.
The server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more that one microprocessor is installed, the server
can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server. You might have to upgrade the operating system
to support SMP. For more information, see “Typical operating-system installation” on page 122 and the
operating-system documentation.
For information about configuring the integrated Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Ethernet controller”
on page 139.
