If you installed optional expansion boards
Your server was setup for normal operation at the factory
and will operate properly without additional configuration.
However, you may need to use one of the following utili-
ties if you installed expansion boards:
BIOS Setup Utility
SCSI Configuration Utility
Mylex™ Configuration Utility for RAID
The default device scan sequence is also listed here.
