Chapter 3: Configuring the System
SCU Utilities
At the bottom of the main SCU menu, there is an option to press <F9> to
display the Utilities menu. The menu lists options that control how a
configuration is produced. For most of these choices, select the option line
and press the spacebar to enable/disable the option.
For descriptions of the options, press <F1> for help while the Utilities menu
displays on the screen. Here is a little more information about some of the
utilities:
Advanced/Dealer Mode— some ISA boards can be shipped with configuration
files that contain options that are not ordinarily configured by end users. If
this mode is turned on, any functions marked as EXP (expert) in the shipped
configuration file will be visible and can be updated.
Force new configuration—this option forces the SCU to ignore any information
stored in the Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) structure in
NVRAM. This means that any ISA boards will “disappear” and that PCI and
Plug and Play ISA settings will be reset.
Specify name for .cms, .inf, and .set files—this option prompts you for the
base filename for the .CMS, .INF, and .SET files. This allows you to save
configuration information into different filenames. Otherwise, each time a
save operation completes in the SCU, the .CMS, .INF, and .SET files will be
overwritten. In this system, the default base filename is int31e0, so when the
SCU is saved, the files int31e0.cms, int31e0.inf, and int31e0.set are created.
Press <F5> to restore a configuration from a CMS file—a .CMS file is created
each time you do a save operation in the SCU. The file contains a copy of the
ESCD image as it was stored into nonvolatile memory and can be used to
restore this information at a later time. If the configuration information is
accidentally erased or a mistake has been made during the configuration
process, it might be desirable to restore to a previous configuration. The backup
.CMS file provides this mechanism to restore the ESCD image.
Press <F7> to define an ISA board. If you have an ISA board with no .CFG file,
you can use the ISA Board Definition screen to define the board. (You can
access the same menu from SCU Step 2 by pressing <F6>.)
