Utility Description and Brief Procedure
BIOS Setup If the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is disabled or
misconfigured, use Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the server board from the
default setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this will
allow most server configurations to boot. For the procedure to do this,
see the section “CMOS Jumper”. Then run the SSU to configure the
server.
Use for extended system configuration of onboard resources and
add-in boards, and for viewing the system event log, setting boot
device priority, or setting system security options.
The SSU may be run from either the Server Configuration CD or from
a DOS-bootable diskette.
Information entered via the SSU overrides information entered via
BIOS Setup.
EMP Console Use to access and monitor the server remotely.
Use to update the Field Replacement Unit (FRU), Sensor Data
Record (SDR) and Desktop Management Interface (DMI) flash
components.
BIOS Update Utility Use to update the BIOS or recover from a corrupted BIOS update.
Use to update BMC flash ROM.
Use to configure or view the settings of the SCSI host adapters and
onboard SCSI devices in the server.
