System Setup Utility (SSU)

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is a DOS-based utility that
supports extended system configuration operations for
onboard resources and add-in boards. It also allows you to
view the system event log and to set system boot and
security options. Use the SSU when you need to:
T
Add and remove ISA Legacy boards affecting the
assignment of resources (ports, memory, IRQs, DMA)
T
Change the server configuration resource settings
T
Save the server configuration
T
View or clear the system event log.
If you install or remove an ISA Legacy add-in board, you
must run the SSU to reconfigure the server. Running the
SSU is optional for a PCI add-in board.
The SSU is PCI-aware, and it complies with the ISA Plug
and Play specifications. The SSU works with any compliant
configuration (.CFG) or overlay (.OVL) file supplied by the
peripheral device manufacturer.
The I/O baseboard includes .CFG and .OVL files. The .CFG
file describes the characteristics of the board and the
system resources that it requires. The configuration
registers on PCI and ISA Plug and Play add-in boards
contain the same type of information that is in a .CFG file.
Some ISA boards also include a .CFG file.
The SSU uses the information provided by the .OVL and
.CFG files, configuration registers, NVRAM, and the
information that you enter, to specify a system
configuration. The SSU writes the configuration information
to NVRAM memory.
