Running a Configuration Utility
If you change your system configuration

for example, by adding a new EISA
adapter or another RAID drive, you will have to run an EISA or RAID
configuration utility. As you modify your system, you might be required to run
other types of configuration utilities as well. Configuration utilities (also called
maintenance programs) are run directly from the AlphaBIOS Utility menu.
Users of OpenVMS Alpha or Digital UNIX:
Users of the OpenVMS Alpha and
Digital UNIX operating systems need to switch from the SRM console to the
AlphaBIOS console to run a configuration utility. To switch, type either of the
following commands at the SRM console prompt: arc or ecu. This command
will access the AlphaBIOS Boot menu. To access the Setup menu from the Boot
menu, press F2.
To run a configuration utility:
1. From the AlphaBIOS Setup menu, select “Utilities.” From the
submenu that appears, select “Run Maintenance Program,” and
