Starting The Ssu - Intel SRPL8 Product Manual

Starting the SSU

The SSU is a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the
Application Framework (AF). The AF provides a launching point for individual tasks and a
location for setting customization information.
1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.
2. Start the SSU through one of two ways:
After creating a set of SSU diskettes from the CD-ROM: Insert the first SSU diskette
in drive A. Press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the
diskette.
Directly from the Server Configuration Software CD-ROM: Insert the configuration
software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Press the reset button or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to
reboot. When prompted to do so, press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu,
select the Boot Device Priority option. Select CD-ROM as your primary boot device.
Save those settings and exit BIOS Setup. The server will boot from the CD-ROM and
display a menu of options. Follow the instructions in the menu to start the SSU.
3. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.
4. The mouse driver loads if it is available; press <Enter> to continue.
This message appears:
Please wait while the Application Framework loads....
When the main window of the SSU appears, you can customize the GUI before continuing.
