What You Need to Do
You can run the SSU directly from the configuration software CD after you have installed a
CD-ROM drive, or from a set of DOS diskettes.
If you choose to run the SSU from DOS diskettes, you must copy the SSU from the CD to the
diskettes and 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, you can disable the drive after exiting the
SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.
Running the SSU
Running the SSU Locally
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file runs automatically. If the server boots from different media,
the SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the utility starts in the local
execution mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The
SSU presents a VGA-based GUI on the primary monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the SSU is run
from nonwritable media, user preference settings (like screen colors) cannot be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 OS. It can run on other ROM-DOS compatible OSs, but
they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS window” running under an OS like
Windows.
Running the SSU Remotely
To run the SSU remotely, you must invoke the SSU.BAT file with the /t switch and redirect the
text-mode output via BIOS console redirect.
Starting the SSU
The SSU is a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the
Application Framework (AF). The AF provides a launching point for individual tasks and a
location for setting customization information.
1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.
2. Start the SSU through one of two ways:
•
After creating a set of SSU diskettes from the CD: Insert the first SSU diskette in drive
A. Press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette.
•
Directly from the Server Configuration Software CD: Insert the configuration software
CD into your CD-ROM drive. Press the reset button or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot. When
prompted to do so, press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu, select the
Boot Device Priority option. Select CD-ROM as your primary boot device. Save those
settings and exit BIOS Setup. The server will boot from the CD-ROM and display a menu
of options. Follow the instructions in the menu to start the SSU.
