ServerWORKS Quick Launch
ServerWORKS Quick Launch is used to install the server’s Network Operating
System (NOS). In addition to providing quick and seamless NOS installation, Quick
Launch also provides drivers, documentation, and the ability to make diskettes of
utilities such as diagnostics. For more information, refer to the
ServerWORKS Quick
Launch Getting Started
guide.
Creating Diskettes and Viewing On-line Documentation
Use the following procedure to create diskettes using the Quick Launch CD-ROM
and to view on-line product documentation.
1. Power on the server and boot the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM.
2. Select the “User Documentation” button to view on-line product
documentation.
3. From the Quick Launch Main Screen, select the “Installations & Utilities”
button and then the Utility tab to create driver and utility diskettes.
4. Insert a DOS-formatted diskette into drive A, and choose the utility or driver
you wish to copy and select Continue.
5. Repeat this procedure for all the utilities and drivers you wish to copy.

System Configuration Utility (SCU)
The server was pre-configured at the factory using the System Configuration Utility
(SCU). This means that the server’s hardware (processor modules, memory, cache,
mass storage devices, expansion boards, etc.) has been identified and configured for
optimum performance. If configuration changes are required, DIGITAL recommends
that the SCU be used along with the information provided in this section.
Refer to “Starting the SCU” described later in this section.
Refer to Chapter 3, “SCU Features,” for more details about the SCU.
Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Getting Started guide and the
README.TXT file, which is located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM, for additional
information.
When to Run the SCU
Always run the SCU each time you add, remove, or relocate ISA, PCI and/or EISA
expansion boards to reconfigure server resources (IRQs). Always run the SCU if the
main logic board changed, or after adding a processor module.
If the main logic board changes or a processor module is added, run the SCU (select
the option “Configure Computer”) to update the serial numbers of the components.
For more information on how to change the serial numbers, refer to Chapter 4,
“Obtaining Information About The Server.”
Typically, the server displays a message such as
Run SCU Utility.....Press
F1 to Continue
. Select how to access and run the SCU by following the
instructions displayed on the SCU screens.

Configuring Expansion Boards
Each time you add, remove, or relocate any EISA/ISA/PCI expansion board, you
need to run the SCU to identify their operating characteristics, server resource
requirements, and slot locations. Based on this information, the SCU will then
automatically assign the proper server resources to EISA expansion boards, enable
PCI boards, and inform you as to what jumper or switch settings need to be manually
set on ISA expansion boards to avoid resource conflicts.
The SCU identifies an expansion board’s operating characteristics and resource
requirements through Configuration (.CFG) files. These files contain main logic
board, EISA, PCI, and ISA expansion board vital characteristics and the server
resources they require for proper operation. Before configuring the server, copy the
CFG files (and overlays if applicable) supplied with the additional EISA expansion
boards to either the SCU directory on the hard disk drive or to the SCU diskette.
As an added feature, the SCU creates and stores all setup changes in a System
Configuration (.SCI) file. This file is automatically generated when the SCU runs.
Afterwards, this SCI file can be used on any DIGITAL Server th a t i s identically
configured and can serve as a backup to the EISA configuration stored in NVRAM
memory.
Starting the SCU
The SCU is located on the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disc. The SCU
options are shown in Figure 2-1. If this is the first time using the SCU, it is
recommended that you select “Learn About Configuring your Computer” for detailed
information on using the SCU. If this is a subsequent session, refer to the
appropriate sections in this chapter to change the server’s configuration.

DIGITAL S erver 3100R/3200R
Start the SCU in one of three ways:
1. During the Quick Launch boot process, if a DOS partition was created, the
SCU was copied to the partition on the hard disk drive. This allows you to
run the SCU anytime from the DOS partition.
At the MS-DOS prompt change to the SCU directory and type:
SCU.BAT
2. Creating a bootable SCU diskette by using the Quick Launch CD-ROM and
selecting the Installations & Utilities button and then the Utilities page. On
the Utilities page, select the appropriate BIOS level for the server that the
SCU is being created for (if this is being done on the server, the default
BIOS that is highlighted is the BIOS of that server).
Afterwards, run the SCU anytime using the SCU diskette.
3. The SCU can also be run by inserting the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc,
rebooting the server, and pressing and holding the right [ALT] key during the
boot process to display the SCU.
NOTE:
If EI S A ( in s om e c as es , PCI) cards hav e been
added to the serv er , the SCU will be invoked aut om atically
when booted from the Quick Launch CD-ROM disc. The
.SCI f ile is not saved when using this m ethod to run the
SCU.
