How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot
After installing any new internal option or external storage device, you must
perform a reconfiguration boot so that the operating system is able to recognize the
newly installed device(s). In addition, if you remove any device and do not install a
replacement device prior to rebooting the system, you must perform a
reconfiguration boot in order for the operating system to recognize the configuration
change. This requirement also applies to any component that is connected to the
system’s I
2 C bus, including memory modules, CPU/Memory boards, and power
supplies.
This requirement does not apply to any component that is:
■ Installed or removed as part of a hot-plug or hot-swap operation
■ Installed or removed before the operating system is installed
■
Installed as an identical replacement for a component that is already recognized
by the operating system
