102 Gateway ALR 9250R User’s Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes the Server Setup Utility (SSU). Other utilities
provided with the system include:
•
BIOS Setup: described in Chapter 4, “BIOS Setup” on page 77. If
the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is disabled or
misconfigured, use BIOS Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the system board from the
default setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; doing
so allows most system configurations to boot. Then run BIOS
Setup and the SSU to configure the system.
•
POST: described in “Other Utilities” on page 121. POST checks
basic system integrity and all major components.
•
Emergency Management Port (EMP) Console: described in “Other
Utilities” on page 121. Use the EMP to access and monitor the
server remotely.
•
FRUSDR Load Utility: described in “Other Utilities” on page 121.
Use to update the Field Replacement Unit (FRU), Sensor Data
Record (SDR), and Desktop Management Interface (DMI) flash
components.
•
BIOS Update Utility: described in “Other Utilities” on page 121.
Use to update the BIOS or recover from a corrupted BIOS update.
•
Firmware Update Utility: described in “Other Utilities” on
page 121. Use to update the BMC flash ROM.
•
Symbios SCSI Utility: described in “Other Utilities” on page 121.
Use to configure or view the settings of the SCSI host adapters and
onboard SCSI devices in the system.
Use the SSU for extended system configuration of onboard resources and
expansion cards, viewing the system event log (SEL), setting boot device
priority, or setting system security options.
Run the SSU from a set DOS-bootable diskettes. See “Using the Server
Setup Utility” on page 103 to make a set of SSU diskettes.
Information entered via the SSU overrides information entered via BIOS
Setup.
