Using The System Setup Utility; Creating Ssu Diskettes - Intel SE7501BR2 - Server Board Motherboard Product Manual

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the System Resource CD-ROM that is 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, 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 from the Server Configuration Utilities menu of the Server Configuration
Wizard, 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 the System Resource CD-ROM to the Server Configuration Wizard.
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.
