Configuring Your System
Using the System Setup Utility (SSU)
The SSU is on the configuration software CD-ROM shipped with the server.
The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible
framework for server configuration. The SSU framework supports the
following functions and capabilities:
!
Assigns resources to devices and add-in boards before loading the OS.
!
Lets you specify boot device order and system security options.
!
Permits viewing and clearing of the system event log (SEL).
!
Permits viewing of the system field replaceable units (FRUs) and sensor
data records (SDRs).
!
Allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational.
!
Provides a system-level view of the server I/O devices.
!
Supports saving and restoring system configuration.
When to Run the SSU
The SSU is a DOS-based utility that supports extended system configuration
operations for onboard resources and add-in boards. You can also view the SEL
and set system boot and security options. Use the SSU when you need to:
!
Add and remove boards affecting the assignment of resources (ports,
memory, IRQs, DMA).
!
Modify the server’s boot device order or security settings.
!
Change the server configuration settings.
!
Save the server configuration.
!
View or clear the SEL.
!
View FRU information.
!
View the SDR table.
The SSU is PCI-aware and works with any compliant configuration (.CFG) files
supplied by the peripheral device manufacturer.
The I/O carrier comes with a .CFG file describing the characteristics of the
carrier and the system resources it requires.
To specify a system configuration, SSU uses the information provided by:
!
.CFG files.
!
Configuration registers.
!
Flash memory.
!
The information that you enter.
