Running the SSU from Diskettes

When creating SSU diskettes, the system copies the SSU from the CD to the diskettes.
To copy the SSU from the CD to diskettes, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the CD-ROM is the first bootable device for the system.
2. Place the CD in the CD-ROM drive and boot the system.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight "Create Diskettes" and press <Enter>.
4. Make sure "Create Disk Sets by Device/Function" is highlighted and press <Enter>.
5. Make sure "System Setup Utility" is highlighted and press <Enter>.
6. The software prompts you to insert a blank diskette. Insert the diskette into the
floppy drive.
7. After the system creates the diskette, remove it from the drive and label it "SSU Disk
1".
8. The software prompts you to insert another blank diskette. Insert the diskette into
the floppy drive.
9. After the system creates the diskette, remove it from the drive and label it "SSU Disk
2".
You can run the SSU from diskettes, a CD-ROM drive, or a hard drive.
For best results, however, it is recommended that you execute the SSU from diskettes.
Place the bootable diskette in the floppy drive. Typically, the floppy drive is recognized
by the system as drive A. If the system is not set to boot from the floppy drive, change
the boot priority. For more information, see"Changing the Boot Device Priority
Temporarily" on page 63. After making sure that the system boots from the floppy drive,
restart the system.
Once the system boots, a virtual drive is created. The System Setup Utility files are copied
to the virtual drive and invoked.
