Using the System Setup Utility The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the System Resource CD-ROM that is shipped with the server. Run the System Setup Utility to: • Set boot device priority • Set passwords and security options • View system events • View FRU information • View sensor data records • Update system firmware and BIOS • Save and restore the system configuration • Set up the server to send alerts for platform events • Set up the server for remote management Using either the System Setup Utility or BIOS Setup, you can specify the boot device sequence and set up system passwords and security options. Both utilities access the same stored configuration data for these items, and the result of making a change to these settings using either utility is identical. The 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. Creating SSU Diskettes You can run the SSU from the Server Configuration Utilities menu of the Server Configuration Wizard, from a set of DOS diskettes, or from the service partition of the hard disk. If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from the Resource CD-ROM as follows: 1. Boot the System Resource CD-ROM to the Server Configuration Wizard. 2. Choose Create Diskettes > Create Diskettes by Device/Function > System Setup Utility. 3. Follow the instructions displayed. Alternatively, if you have a workstation with the Microsoft Windows operating system, you can insert the CD into that system and create the diskettes on that system.
