104 Gateway ALR 9250R User’s Guide
The SSU always includes a checksum with the configuration data so the
BIOS can detect any potential data corruption before the actual hardware
configuration takes place.
When to run the SSU
The SSU is a DOS-based utility that supports extended system
configuration operations for onboard resources and expansion cards. Use
the SSU when you need to:
•
Add and remove boards affecting the assignment of resources
(ports, memory, IRQs, DMA)
•
Modify the server boot device order or security settings
•
Change the server configuration settings
•
Save the server configuration
•
View or clear the system event log (SEL)
•
View FRU information
•
View the SDR table
If you install or remove an ISA expansion card, you must run the SSU to
reconfigure the server. Running the SSU is optional for PCI and Plug and
Play ISA expansion cards.
You must run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes. You must follow the
instructions in the included README.TXT file to prepare the diskettes.
If your diskette drive is disabled or improperly configured, you must use the
flash-resident Setup utility to enable it so you can use the SSU. If necessary,
disable the drive after exiting the SSU. Information entered using the SSU
overrides any entered using BIOS Setup.
