Server Utilities
2-4
The SCU stores most of the configuration values in the battery-maintained
memory (NVRAM) of the real-time clock (RTC), and the rest of them in
flash memory. These values take effect each time you boot the server.
POST checks the values against the actual hardware configuration; if they
do not agree, it generates an error message. You must then run the SCU
to specify the correct configuration before the server boots. Pressing F1
on the keyboard, in response to the BIOS prompt during POST, activates
the BIOS Setup.
The SCU modifies the CMOS RAM and EISA NVRAM, under your direc-
tion. The BIOS POST routines and the ISA plug and play Auto Configura-
tion Manager (ACM) actually configure the hardware.
The SCU always updates the checksums for both areas so that the BIOS
can detect any potential data corruption before the actual hardware con-
figuration takes place. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS requests that you
configure the server before it can boot.
