Using the System Setup Utility (SSU)

Customizing the SSU
You can customize the UI according to your preferences. The AF sets these preferences
and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU.
Use these four user-customizable settings:
1. Color—lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the
screen to predefined color combinations. The changes are instantaneous.
2. Mode—lets you set the desired expertise level.
• Novice
• Intermediate
• Expert
The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section
and what actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you
must exit the SSU and restart it. In the current implementation, there is no
distinction between these three different modes.
3. Language—lets you change the text displayed in the SSU to the appropriate
language. For a new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and
restart it.
4. Other—lets you change other miscellaneous options in the SSU. The changes are
immediate.
To change the interface default values, do one of the following:
• Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the Preferences section of the
SSU Main window.
• Use the Tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the
spacebar or Enter.
• Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt + underlined letter).
Note: If you run the SSU from non-writable media (like a CD-ROM), these preferences
will be lost when you exit the SSU.
