Backing up the BIOS and SSU upgrade
disks

Introduction

Since the SSU software holds server configuration for individual systems,
make a backup copy of the BIOS and SSU upgrade software.

Before you begin

Before you can back up the BIOS/SSU upgrade, you must have the BIOS
and SSU upgrade software on a floppy disk.

You also need two blank floppy disks for the backup copies.

To back up the BIOS and SSU

Write-protect the BIOS upgrade floppy disk.

Insert the BIOS upgrade floppy disk into drive A.

Type

diskcopy a: b: /V

, and then press Enter.

When prompted to insert the destination disk, insert a blank floppy disk,
and then press Enter.

Note:

If prompted to insert the source disk, insert the original upgrade

disk.

When prompted,

Copy another disk (Y/N)?

, type

Remove the disk from the disk drive.

Label the backup copy with the information on the original disk.

Repeat the procedure for the SSU upgrade.
