1. Display the currently defined adapters by opening the OEM Options dialog box and
selecting the Adapters tab. (See Viewing the Adapter List
on page 3-9.)
2. Select the adapter you want to update.
3. Click Update or double-click the selected item. The OEM Server: Update
Adapter dialog box appears.
4. Change any values as needed.
5. Click OK in the OEM Server: Update Adapter dialog box to update the adapter
list. Click Cancel to cancel the operation.
6. Click OK or Apply in the OEM Options dialog box to save the changes. Click
Cancel to discard any changes you have made.
For more information about specifying adapter properties, see Using the Add/Update
Adapter Dialog on page 3-12.

clicking the Adapters tab. (See Viewing the Adapter List
