What you need to do
You must make a set of diskettes form the master system CD.
The SSU cannot run directly from the CD due to memory restrictions. You must copy the SSU
from the CD to the diskettes and follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file to
prepare the diskettes.
If your diskette drive is disabled or improperly configured, you must use the flash-resident Setup
utility to enable it so you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after exiting the
SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.
Running the SSU
Running the SSU locally
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file runs automatically. If the server boots from different media,
the SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the utility starts in the local
execution mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The
SSU presents a VGA-based GUI on the primary monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the SSU is run
from nonwritable media, user preference settings (like screen colours) cannot be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 OS. It can run on other ROM-DOS compatible OSs,
but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a "DOS window" running under an
OS like Windows.
Running the SSU remotely
To run the SSU remotely, you must invoke the SSU.BAT file with the /t switch and redirect the
text-mode output via BIOS console redirect.
Starting the SSU
The SSU is a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the
Application Framework (AF). The AF provides a launching point for individual tasks and a
location for setting customisation information.
1.
Turn on your video monitor and your system.
2.
After creating a set of SSU diskettes from the CD, insert the first SSU diskette in drive A.
Press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette.
3.
When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.
4.
The mouse driver loads if it is available; press <Enter> to continue.
This message appears:
When the main window of the SSU appears, you can customize the UI before continuing. See
'Customising the SSU' later in this chapter.
