The SSU runs fromwritable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If the SSU is
run fromnon-writable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) cannot be saved.
The SSU supports theROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other
ROM-DOS-compatibleoperating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate
from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.
Running the SSU Remotely via an Emergency Management Card Using graphicalhardware redirection via the emergency management card 2, you can see the SSU
Console in VGA graphicsmode, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from a local system
connected to a remote serverby a networkor modem.
The emergencymanagement card 2 provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection
support. Videomemory and user input are sent to a remote location through either a modemor
Ethernet link and displayedby the RemoteControl console. This solution requires an emergency
managementcard 2 card installed in the remote server and the Remote Control software available
on the local system. TheSSU will execute exclusively on the remote server. Any files required for
the SSU to executemust be on the remote server.
