Server Utilities & Configuration
Server Utilities
The following sections provide detailed instructions on running the MS-DOS utilities contained on the
supplied CD-ROM startup diskette and CD-ROM. Note that these utilities can be copied to the hard disk
drive. Refer to the operating system documentation for information on copying files.
UPGRADE.EXE
All servers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM) chip. This BIOS initializes
hardware and boots the operating system when the server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to
other services such as keyboard and disk drives.
The server comes equipped with flash memory. This means that server's BIOS simply can be restored by
running the UPGRADE.EXE utility contained on the supplied CD-ROM startup diskette. You can also
upgrade the server's BIOS to future releases by running UPGRADE.EXE along with any flash BIOS update
diskette if necessary.
Before Using UPGRADE.EXE
If you are unfamiliar with utility programs and their uses, carefully read and understand the following
instructions before attempting to use UPGRADE.EXE.
Have the following items available:
♦
Blank formatted diskette
♦
Diskette (supplied with the server)
NOTE
Before attempting to upgrade the flash BIOS, ensure that J41 is set correctly. To
perform a flash BIOS upgrade, J41 must be set to enable. After the upgrade, make
sure J41 is set back to disable as a security measure.
