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.
