2. If you choose to enable automatic configuration, the system will create a device description for every device that is attached to your system.
   The device description will be named according to the value that you specify for Device configuration naming. You might need to change the names and descriptions of these device descriptions later.

   If you choose not to enable automatic configuration, you will need to configure at least one device later in your recovery. You must configure the device after you finish restoring the operating system and before you restore any other information. You might also need to correct the device configuration for the system console and respond to SRC A900 2000 (step 10 in Task 6–Completing the IPL topic). The instructions to recover from SRC A900 2000 are provided.

If you specified N for the Define or change system at IPL prompt in step 4 of Task 3, skip to Task 6: Completing the initial program load.
