values do not agree, POST generates an error message. You must then run the SSU to
specify the correct configuration before the server boots.
The SSU always includes a checksum with the configuration data so the BIOS can detect
any potential data corruption before the actual hardware configuration takes place.
WhatYouNeedtoDo
You can run the SSU directly from the configuration software CD after you have installed
aCD-ROMdrive,orfromasetofdiskettes.
If you choose to run the SSU from diskettes, create the SSU diskettes from the CD by
following the instructions in “Creating SSU Diskettes” on page 70.
If the diskette drive is disabled or improperly configured, use the flash-resident Setup
utility to enable it to use the SSU. If necessary, disable the drive after exiting the SSU.
Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.
Running the SSU Remotely
Running the SSU remotely requires a remote server with a LAN Desk Server Monitor
Module 2 (SMM2) card and a local system with Remote Control software available.
When running the SSU remotely, the client SSU (CSSU) runs on the remote server. The
CSSU controls the local server and uses the local server's SSU software.
The SMM2 card provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support for
the remote server. The Remote Control console of the local system displays and sends
video memory and user input to the remote server through either a modem or an
Ethernet link. Because the CSSU runs exclusively on the remote server, any files required
for the CSSU to run must be available on the remote server (on removable or non
removable media).
If the local system is connected to the remote server through a network or modem, you
can see the console of the local system, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from
the remote server.
For more information, see the documentation accompanying your SMM2 card.
