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 diskettes 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® 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. Starting the SSU SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality, the SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files. 1. Turn on your video monitor and your system. 2.
