54 Configuration Software and Utilities
Using the System Setup Utility
The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the cc3300 Carrier Grade Server Resource CD shipped with
the server. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for
server configuration. The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:
• Allows viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log
• Allows the viewing of the system management FRU information
• Allows the viewing of the system management SDR repository
What You Need to Do
The SSU may be run directly from the HP Server cc2300 & cc3300 User Information Diagnostics
and Utilities Resource CD (by booting the server system to the CD and selecting “Utilities”) or
from a set of DOS diskettes.
If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from
the HP Server cc2300 & cc3300 User Information Diagnostics and Utilities Resource CD by
booting to the CD and selecting “Create Diskettes.” Alternatively, if you have Windows
†
2000
Advanced Server, you can insert the CD into that system and create diskettes from the “Utilities”
menu of the graphical user interface.
Running the SSU from the CD
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automatically run. If it boots from a different media, the
SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the SSU starts in the local execution
mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU
presents a VGA based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If the SSU is
run from non-writable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) cannot be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other
ROM-DOS-compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate
from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.
Starting the SSU
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. The SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files
and their associated .HLP and .INI files.
