default setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this
will allow most system configurations to boot.
For the procedure to
do this, see “CMOS Clear Jumper” on page 152.
Then run the
SSU to configure the system.

Server Setup Utility (SSU)
Use for extended system configuration of onboard resources and
add-in boards, viewing the system event log (SEL), setting boot
device priority, or setting system security options.
The SSU can be run from either the configuration software CD or
from a set DOS-bootable diskettes.
See the printed
Quick
Start
Guide
to make a set of SSU diskettes.
Information entered via the SSU overrides information entered via
Setup.
46
Emergency Management
Port (EMP) Console
Use to access and monitor the server remotely.
57
FRUSDR Load Utility
Use to update the Field Replacement Unit (FRU), Sensor Data
Record (SDR), and Desktop Management Interface (DMI) flash
components.
69
BIOS Update Utility
Use to update the BIOS or recover from a corrupted BIOS update.
74
Firmware Update Utility
Use to update BMC flash ROM.
76
