2.12 IBM Netfinity 7000 System Configuration Utility
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) is the main tool to configure the system or
to check or change the configuration. Most system settings can be entered from
either the SCU or BIOS Setup, but the SCU provides conflict resolution as well as
access to information about ISA, EISA, and PCI adapters.
It is possible to start the SCU from the Netfinity 7000 System CD-ROM or from
the System Configuration Diskette. The Netfinity System CD-ROM and the
System Configuration Diskette are bootable.
1. Insert the System CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive or the System Configuration
Diskette in the floppy drive and reboot your system.
2. If you boot from the SCU CD-ROM you will get the following screen.
The COM ports on the Advanced Systems Management Adapter
cannot be configured for use by the system. Please disregard the
information regarding serial port sharing found in the Service
Processor and Adapter COM Port Configuration section of the
Advanced Systems Management Adapter Installation Instructions
publication.
The adapter comes configured with adapter ports disabled. Leave
the settings for ports COM A and COM B disabled in the adapter
configuration program to prevent the system from accessing them.
COM B is dedicated to the adapter and you can use all adapter
features over this port. You cannot use the ports as additional
serial interfaces for the system.
