Chapter 5: The Server Setup Utility 105
Running the SSU
The SSU can be run either locally (directly on the server you are
configuring) or remotely (on a workstation connected to the server you are
configuring through the network).
Running the SSU.BAT file 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
provides 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 operating system. It can run on
other ROM-DOS compatible operating systems, but they are not supported.
The SSU will not operate from a “DOS window” running under an
operating system like Windows.
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. See
“Console redirection submenu” on page 91 for instructions on setting up
the remote console.
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 customization.
