Using The System Setup Utility; Creating Ssu Diskettes - Intel SPSH4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the System Resource CD-ROM shipped with the
server.
Run the System Setup Utility to:
Set boot device priority
Set passwords and security options
View system events
View FRU information
View sensor data records
Update system firmware and BIOS
Save and restore the system configuration
Set up the server to send alerts for platform events
Set up the server for remote management
Using either the System Setup Utility or BIOS Setup (page 39), you can specify the boot device
sequence and set up system passwords and security options. Both utilities access the same stored
configuration data for these items, and the result of making a change to these settings using either
utility is identical.
The SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called
the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for
individual tasks and a location for setting customization information.

Creating SSU Diskettes

You can run the SSU directly from the Utilities menu of the System Resource CD-ROM, from a set
of DOS diskettes, or from the service partition of the hard disk.
If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from
the Resource CD-ROM as follows:
1. Boot to the System Resource CD-ROM.
2. Choose Create Diskettes > Create Diskettes by Device/Function > System Setup Utility.
3. Follow the instructions displayed.
Alternatively, if you have a workstation with the Microsoft Windows operating system, you can
insert the CD into that system and create the diskettes on that system.
