Description and brief procedure
If the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is disabled or
misconfigured, use Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the system board from the default
setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this will allow most
system configurations to boot.
For the procedure to do this, (see the 'Mainboard' chapter for details). Then
run the SSU to configure the system.
Use for extended system configuration of onboard resources and add-in
boards, viewing the system event log (SEL), setting boot device priority, or
setting system security options.
The SSU can only be run from a set of DOS-bootable diskettes. See the
detailed information starting on page 13 of this chapter on how to make a
set of SSU diskettes.
Information entered via the SSU overrides information entered via Setup.
