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, 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 frame-
work 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
you can insert the CD into that system and create the diskettes on that system.
Running the SSU
When the SSU starts in the default local execution mode, the SSU accepts input from the
keyboard or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA-based GUI on the primary monitor.
If you run the SSU from read-only media, such as the CD-ROM, you cannot save user
preference settings (such as screen colors).
The SSU supports ROM-DOS version 6.22. The SSU will not operate from a "DOS box"
running under an operating system such as Windows
