Figure 44. Create Diskettes Submenu
You can use this submenu to create various types of standalone diskettes that you can use to boot servers and run
particular tests, utilities, or Flash the BIOS instead of using the service partition menu.
The following disks can be created:
• System Setup Utility: choosing this option creates two diskettes that allow you to run the System Setup Utility
(SSU) in the same way that you run it from the service partition or from the diagnostic CD. With the two diskette
set, you can perform the functions described in “Run System Setup Utility” on page 4-12.
• FRU/SDR Load Utility: choosing this option creates one diskette that allows you to run the FRU/SDR Load
Utility in the same way that you run it from the service partition or from the diagnostic CD. With the diskette,
you can perform the functions described in “Run Field Replaceable Unit/System Data Record (FRU/SDR)
Update2” on page 4-25
• Platform Confidence Test: choosing this option creates one diskette that allows you to run the Platform
Confidence Test in the same way that you run it from the service partition or from the diagnostic CD. With the
diskette, you can perform the functions described in “Run System Diagnostic Test” on page 4-15

any server.
