The SCU always updates the checksums for both areas so that the BIOS can
detect any potential data corruption before the actual hardware configuration
takes place. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS requests that you configure the
server before it can boot.
Refer to “Starting the SCU” described later in this chapter.
Refer to Appendix C, “SCU Features,” for more details about the SCU.
Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Reference Guide and the ReadMe.txt
file, which is located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM, for additional information.
Starting the SCU
The SCU is located on your ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. You
can start the SCU in one of three ways:
1. During the Quick Launch boot process, if you selected “to create a MS-
DOS partition,” the SCU was copied to the MS-DOS partition on your
hard disk drive. This allows you to run the SCU anytime from the MS-
DOS partition.
At the MS-DOS prompt change to the SCU directory and type:
SCU.BAT
2. and selecting the Installations & Utilities button and then the Utilities
page . On the Utilities page, select the appropriate BIOS level for the
server that the SCU is being created for (if this is being done on the
server, the default BIOS that is highlighted is the BIOS of that server)
.
NOTE:
If your server is not equipped with a CD-ROM drive, take
the CD-ROM disc to another personal computer that has a CD-
ROM drive to create a bootable SCU diskette.
Afterwards, you can run the SCU anytime by booting the diskette you
created.
