Device Driver Diskettes
If you choose “Create Disk Sets by Device/Function,” you will be brought to a screen on which you
can select which device drivers or utility installation diskettes you want to create. Until you select
an option, the Continue button is disabled /grayed out.
After you select the device driver or function and press the Continue button, the Server
Configuration SCW will display a message stating how many diskettes are required. When you
press the OK button on that dialog, the SCW will switch to a DOS screen where you are prompted
to insert the appropriate disk as the set is being created.
After the diskette set has been created, you are returned to the “Create Disk Sets by
Device/Function” screen.
Install an Operating System
At the end of the SCW execution, you have the option to start the installation of an operating
system. To do this, you are instructed to insert bootable media that will start the operating system’s
installation program when the system restarts.
If the server already has an operating system installed, bypass the option to install the operating
system. However, you must still reboot the server after the configuration process completes.
FRUSDR Load Utility
The FRUSDR Load Utility is a DOS-based utility that is used to update or modify the server
management subsystem’s product level Field Replacement Unit (FRU), Sensor Data Record (SDR)
repository, or to display the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) non-volatile storage
components.
Once the FRU file has been initially programmed, which occurs in the factory, the FRUSDR utility
may be used to update specific FRU areas and fields. You may not change the size of any FRU area
from the size defined in the original FRU Header. Run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you
upgrade or replace the hardware in your server; excluding add-in boards, hard drives, fans, and
RAM. The FRUSDR Load Utility programs the sensors the server uses to monitor server
management.
With the FRUSDR Load Utility, you can do the following:
Discover the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file.
Display the FRU information.
Update the non-volatile storage device associated with the Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU information.
Generically handle FRU devices that might not be associated with the BMC.
Supply command lines and interactive input through the standard input device.
View and direct results to the standard output device.
