Running the DPC Console

For more information about setting up and running the DPC Console, see the document named “ISM_Install_Guide.pdf.” This document is in the ISM\DOCS directory on the ISM CD accompanying the SE7500WV2 server board.

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the System Resource CD-ROM shipped with the server.

Run the System Setup Utility to:

Set boot device priority

Set passwords and security options

View system events

View FRU information

View sensor data records

Update system firmware and BIOS

Save and restore the system configuration

Set up the server to send alerts for platform events

Set up the server for remote management

Using either the System Setup Utility or BIOS Setup, you can specify the boot device sequence and set up system passwords and security options. Both utilities access the same stored configuration data for these items, and the result of making a change to these settings using either utility is identical.

The SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information.

Creating SSU Diskettes

You can run the SSU directly from the Utilities menu of the System Resource CD-ROM, from a set of DOS diskettes, or from the service partition of the hard disk.

If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from the Resource CD-ROM as follows:

1.Boot to the System Resource CD-ROM.

2.Choose Create Diskettes > Create Diskettes by Device/Function > System Setup Utility.

3.Follow the instructions displayed.

Alternatively, if you have a workstation with the Microsoft Windows operating system, you can insert the CD into that system and create the diskettes on that system.
