What You Need to Do

Run the SSU directly from the configuration software CD after you have installed a CD-ROM drive, or from a set of diskettes.

If you choose to run the SSU from diskettes, create the SSU diskettes from the CD by following the instructions in "Creating SSU Diskettes" on page 48.

If the diskette drive is disabled or improperly configured, use the flash-resident Setup utility to enable it to use the SSU. If necessary, disable the drive after exiting the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.

Running the SSU Remotely

Running the SSU remotely requires a remote server with a LANDesk Server Monitor Module 2 (SMM2) card and a local system with Remote Control software available.

When running the SSU remotely, the client SSU (CSSU) runs on the remote server. The CSSU controls the local server and uses the local server’s SSU software.

The SMM2 card provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support for the remote server. The Remote Control console of the local system displays and sends video memory and user input to the remote server through either a modem or an Ethernet link. Because the CSSU runs exclusively on the remote server, any files required for the CSSU to run must be available on the remote server (on removable or non-removable media).

If the local system is connected to the remote server through a network or modem, you can see the console of the local system, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from the remote server.

For more information, see the documentation accompanying your SMM2 card.

Creating SSU Diskettes

When creating SSU diskettes, the system copies the SSU from the CD to the diskettes.

1.Make sure that the CD-ROM is the first bootable device for the system.

2.Place the CD in the CD-ROM drive and boot the system.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight "Create Diskettes" and press <Enter>.

4.Make sure "Create Disk Sets by Device/Function" is highlighted and press <Enter>.

5.Make sure "System Setup Utility" is highlighted and press <Enter>.

6.The software prompts you to insert a blank diskette. Insert the diskette in the floppy drive.

7.After the system formats the diskette, remove it from the drive and label it "SSU Disk 1".

8.The software prompts you to insert another blank diskette. Insert the diskette in the floppy drive.

9.After the system creates the diskette, remove it from the drive and label it "SSU Disk 2".
