# How to Configure Startup Parameters for Your Conan Exiles Server (/docs/conan-exiles/startup-parameters)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Most Conan Exiles settings live in the `.ini` files, but some options are passed as **command-line parameters** when the server launches. On the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), these go in **Startup** → startup command.
