Intel Client System Setup Utility

Introduction

The Client System Setup Utility (Client SSU) implements most System Setup Utility (SSU)
features of a server from a client workstation.
The CSSU may communicate to the remote server using one of the following connection metods:
A Windows † 2000 Advanced Server-compatible modem
•
•
LAN (using LAN1 on the cc2300 & cc3300 servers).
SSU features are implemented in Client SSU with a set of plug-ins called Managers. In addition to
managers, Client SSU has a phonebook that records the phone number, IP address, DNS name, and
name of servers that Client SSU can manage remotely from a client workstation. Current Client
SSU managers are:
•
Multiboot Manager (MBM)
•
Password Manager (PWM)
•
System Event Log (SEL) Manager
•
Sensor Data Record (SDR) Manager
•
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Manager
•
System Update Manager (SUM) (functionality is system dependent)
•
Platform Event Manager (PEM)
•
Configuration Save/Restore Manager (CSR)
These managers and other Client SSU features can be accessed from menus or toolbar icons. For
additional information about the managers, see the help for each.
The specific functions provided available vary with individual platforms. Only a single instance of
Client SSU can be running and only one connection can be made at a time.
Client SSU can be launched from the Program Group icon or from the Run command in the
Windows Start menu. When launched from the Program Group, the main Client SSU window
†
displays and waits for user input. When launched from the Run command with the appropriate
parameters, Client SSU attempts to connect to the server with the specified phone number, IP
address, or DNS name. When the connection is established, the main Client SSU window displays
with the connection information in the status bar. If the connection cannot be established, an error
message displays, the main Client SSU window displays, and the application waits for user input.
