Chapter 3: Configuration Software and Utilities
Running the SSU
You canrun theSSU eitherlocally or remotely. The following subsections describe these
options.
Running the SSU Locally
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 runs automatically. If the server boots from
different media, the SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the
utility 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 GUI on the primary
monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the
SSU is run from nonwritable media, user preference settings (like screen colors) cannot
be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 OS. It can run on other ROM-DOS compatible
OSs, but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS window”
running under another OS.
Running the SSU Remotely
To run the SSU remotely, you must invoke the SSU.BAT file with the /t switch and
redirect the text-mode output via BIOS console redirect.
