NEC MH4500 Creating SSU Diskettes, Running the SSU, Directly from the Server Configuration CD

Creating SSU Diskettes

SSU may be run directly from the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM or from DOS- bootable diskettes. Before you can run the SSU from diskettes, you must copy the SSU from the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to a diskette.

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use the FLASH-resident BIOS Setup Utility (F2) to enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you exit the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides information entered using Setup.

1.Power on the system.

2.If the diskette drive is disabled, enable it using the BIOS Setup Utility (see Chapter 3, “Configuring Your System’). Specify the correct type of diskette drive.

3.Using the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM, create the SSU diskette.

Note: Ensure the diskettes do not contain any “bad blocks”. Run CHKDSK or Format to check the quality of the diskettes.

Running the SSU

Use the following steps to run the SSU.

1.Power up your monitor and system.

2.Start the SSU using one of the following methods.

After creating the three SSU diskettes from the CD:

⎯Insert SSU diskette 1 into Drive A and reboot your server from the Tdiskette.

Directly from the Server Configuration CD:

⎯Insert the configuration CD in your CD-ROM drive and reboot your server from the CD. When prompted, press F2 to enter BIOS Setup.

⎯From the Boot menu, select Boot Device Priority and select CD- ROM as your primary boot device

⎯Save the settings and exit the BIOS Setup.

⎯Reboot your server from the CD. The server displays a menu of options.

3.Follow the system prompts to load the SSU. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press Enter to continue.

4.The mouse driver loads, if available. Press Enter to continue.
