Intel Client System Setup Utility Introduction The Client System Setup Utility (Client SSU) implements most System Setup Utility (SSU) features of a server from a client workstation. The CSSU may communicate to the remote server using one of the following connection metods: • A Windows† 2000 Advanced Server-compatible modem • LAN (using LAN1 on the cc2300 & cc3300 servers). SSU features are implemented in Client SSU with a set of plug-ins called Managers.
Intel Client System Setup Utility • • • Update the system BIOS or controller firmware (depending on the server system) Configure platform event paging, BMC LAN alerts, or the emergency management port (EMP) Save or restore non-volatile system settings Operation To determine a system configuration, the Client SSU uses the following information from the server system: • The baseboard CFG file • Configuration registers • CMOS and non-volatile storage The Client SSU stores configuration values in non-volatil
Intel Client System Setup Utility Phonebook The Client SSU shares a phonebook with other Intel® Server Control (ISC) components. You can use the phonebook to establish connections with supported platforms. Open the phonebook from the Server menu or with the phonebook icon on the toolbar. Multiboot Manager The Multiboot Manager (MBM) allows you to: • Set boot device priority. • Save boot device priority to non-volatile memory. Only a single instance of the MBM can be running at one time.
Intel Client System Setup Utility System Event Log Manager The System Event Log (SEL) Manager contains a sequential record of events that have occurred in the remote server. The SEL can help determine the cause of server system failures.
Intel Client System Setup Utility Sensor Data Records Manager The Sensor Data Records (SDR) Manager contains information recorded from each configured sensor in the managed server. Record data is displayed in hexadecimal or binary form. The contents of the SDR file can help determine the cause of server system failures.
Intel Client System Setup Utility System Update Manager The System Update Manager (SUM) allows users to update the system BIOS or firmware code for various controllers (front panel controller, baseboard management controller, power share controller, etc.) on a server. The SUM provides the following operations (Note that some servers do not support all types of updates): • Determines the current revision of system BIOS and firmware on server controllers. • Updates BIOS and/or firmware.
Intel Client System Setup Utility Configuration Save/Restore Manager The Configuration Save/Restore (CSR) Manager provides a way to save the non-volatile system settings on a server to a file, and allows those settings to be written back into non-volatile storage on a server. These settings include the entire contents of CMOS and ESCD, EMP non-volatile settings, and event paging and filtering non-volatile settings. Only a single instance of the CSR may be used at a time.
