Running the DPC Console

For more information about setting up and running the DPC Console, see the document
named "ENUDPCUG.pdf. " This document is in the Manuals\SrvMgmt directory on the server
software kit accompanying the SCB2 server board.

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the SCB2 System Resource CD-ROM shipped
with the server board. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible
framework for server configuration. For the SCB2 systems, the SSU framework supports
the following functions and capabilities:
• Allows configuration of Sever Management options
• Allows you to specify boot device order and system security options
• Permits viewing and clearing of the system's critical event log
• Allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational
• Allows you to view the system's Sensor Data Records and Field Replaceable Unit

What You Need to Do

You can run the SSU directly from the SCB2 Server Software Kit CD-ROM by booting the
server system to the CD and selecting "Utilities" or from a set of DOS diskettes.
If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU dis-
kettes from the SCB2 Resource CD-ROM by booting to the CD-ROM and selecting "Create
Diskettes. " Alternatively, if you have a Windows based workstation, you can insert the CD
into that system and create diskettes from the "Utilities" menu of the graphical user interface.
If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup to
enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you exit
the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using BIOS Setup.

Running the SSU

Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file automatically runs. If it boots from a different media, you
can start the SSU manually or by another application. When the SSU starts in the local execution
mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU
presents a VGA based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If you run
the SSU from non-writable media, you cannot save user preference settings (such as screen
colors).
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS
compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a
"DOS box" running under an operating system such as Windows.
