Using the System Setup Utility
The SystemSetup Utility (SSU) is on the Documentation and Resource CD shipped with the ser ver
board. The SSU providesa graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server
configuration. The SSU frameworksupports the following functions and capabilities:
• Allows viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log
• Allows the viewing of thesystem management FRU information
• Allows the viewing of thesystem management SDR repository

What You Need to Do

The SSU may be run directly from the Documentationand Resource CD (by bootingthe server
systemto the CD and selecting “Utilities”)or from a set of DOS diskettes.
If you chooseto run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from
the Documentationand Resource CD by booting to the CD and selecting“Create Diskettes.”
Alternatively,if you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation, you can insert the CD into
that systemand create diskettes from the “Utilities” menu of the graphical user interface.
If your diskettedrive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use the flash resident Setup
utility to enableit so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you
exit the SSU. Information entered usingthe SSU overrides any entered usingSetup.

Running the SSU from the CD

Running the ssu.batfile provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automaticallyrun. If it bootsfrom a differentmedia, the
SSU can be started manuallyor by another application. When the SSU starts in the local execution
mode (the defaultmode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU
presents a VGA based GraphicalUser Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.
