Using the System Setup Utility The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the Server Board Resource software CD shipped with the server board. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities: • allows viewing and clearing of the system's critical event log • allows the viewing of the system management FRU information • allows the viewing of the system management SDR repository What You Need to Do The SSU may be run directly from the Server Resource CD (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 diskettes from the Server Resource CD by booting to the CD and selecting "Create Diskettes." Alternatively, if you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT 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 the flash resident Setup utility 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 Setup. Running the SSU from the CD 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 is automatically run. If it boots from a different media, the SSU can be started 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, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the SSU is run from nonwritable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) can not be saved. The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other ROM-DOScompatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a "DOS box" running under an operating system such as Windows. 44 Configuration Software and Utilities

Configuration Software and Utilities
Using the System Setup Utility
The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the Server Board Resource software CD shipped with the
server board.
The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for
server configuration.
The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:
•
allows viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log
•
allows the viewing of the system management FRU information
•
allows the viewing of the system management SDR repository
What You Need to Do
The SSU may be run directly from the Server Resource CD (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 diskettes from
the Server Resource CD by booting to the CD and selecting “Create Diskettes.”
Alternatively, if
you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT 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 the flash resident Setup
utility 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 Setup.
Running the SSU from the CD
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 is automatically run.
If it boots from a different media, the
SSU can be started 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, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media.
If the SSU is run
from nonwritable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) can not be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system.
It may run on other 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.
