System Conﬁguration Wizard (SCW)

The System Configuration Wizard (SCW) is a combination of software applications, batch files and

helper applications that help you with the initial configuration of your MAXDATA PLATINUM server. The

SCW supports IPMI 2.0, 1.5, and later compatible platforms. It performs the following activities:

• Sets the system time and date in the BIOS.

• Loads Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), Sensor Data Records (SDRs).

• Sets the System Asset Tag.

• Configures the channels present on the server.

• Configures the users supported by the server.

• Sets Server Management settings, including an IP address and LAN/Alert settings.

• Configures the Advanced Features if supported on the server.

• Starts the execution of utility applications that can be used to manually configure the server.

• Creates startup or installation diskettes for hardware device drivers and server configuration

utility applications.

• Launches the SELViewer Utility.

• Launches the FRUViewer Utility.

• Provides help.

The SCW does not perform the following functions:

• Install and / or update the BIOS.

• Install and / or update the firmware.

The SCW and MAXDATA Server Management (MSM) can each be used to configure the firmware

on the server, but these items only need to be configured once. If you are installing the MAXDATA

Server Management software on this server, you do not need to use the SCW to configure LAN

channel 1, the serial channel, or users. The MAXDATA Server Management software will allow you

to configure these items later, from the operating system. The SCW will ask you if you are using

MAXDATA Server Management software and not prompt you to configure these items if you are

using MAXDATA Server Management.

On some screens in the SCW application, you can choose multiple entries. These selection options

have square check-boxes, not round radio selection buttons. When multiple selections are permitted,

the SCW will configure each item you select.

Some options require other options to be selected. In these cases, the SCW automatically selects the

options required for the options that you selected. The reverse is also true. If an option is unchecked,

then all options dependent on that option are automatically unchecked.
