Saving a Configuration
To save the system configuration:
1. From the SSU Main window, choose Config Save/Restore. (Configuration Save/Restore
is available only in Expert mode.)
2. Click Save To File and specify a filename and location.
Restoring a Configuration
To restore the system configuration from a file:
1. From the SSU Main window, choose Config Save/Restore. (Configuration Save/Restore
is available only in Expert mode.)
2. Click Restore from File and specify a filename and location.
The CSR reads the platform type, BIOS revision, and firmware revision from the file and
compares that information with the same information retrieved from the server. If the two
do not match, an error message is displayed and the restore operation aborts. If they do
match, the CSR restores the configuration data to the server. It prompts you to reboot the
server for the new settings to take effect.
Alerting for Platform Events
You can set up the server to alert you when various events occur. Alerts can be delivered
either as telephone pages or over the LAN. Instructions for setting up both telephone paging
alerts and LAN alerts are given below.
Setting Up Paging Alerts
To set up the server to send alerts as telephone pages:
1. Install an external modem on the Emergency Management Port (COM2).
2. From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager (PEM).
3. In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
4. In the corresponding boxes, enter the following command strings for the modem attached
to the EMP port:
• ESC Sequence: the escape sequence. This string is sent to the modem before sending
command strings. The maximum length for the string is five characters; longer strings
are truncated.
• Hangup String: hang up or drop the connection. The EMP automatically sends an
<ENTER> character following this string. The maximum length for the string is
eight characters; longer strings are truncated.
• Modem Dial Command: the command to dial a phone number. This string is sent to
the modem before sending the paging string.
• Modem Init String: the initialization string for the modem. This string is sent every
time the EMP initializes. The maximum length for the string is determined at runtime
from firmware. You will be notified if the string is truncated. Following a save, the
actual string saved is displayed in the edit box.
5. Click Save to save the changes.
6. Click Close to return to the PEM window.
7. In the PEM window, click Configure PEP.
8. Select the Enable PEP check box.
