English term or phrase: in case the situation arises
Parece bobagem, mas simplesmente não consigo achar uma boa solução para isso neste contexto:
In many circumstances, Company XXX provides installation as part of a new XXX device purchase. The installation representative will configure your system for you, so you should not have to change the configuration settings. However, an explanation of these settings is included in case the situation arises.

caso seja necessário/para o caso de necessidade?

Portuguese translation:caso seja necessário (alterar a configuração)
Explanation:
The situation that may arise is 'you having to change the configuration'
so you are right. I would say:

caso seja necessário alterar a configuração
