PC Server Utilities Diskette, version 1.1, README.TXT

The utilities for the PC Server 325 and 330 available on this diskette
are described below.


System Configuration Backup and Restore Utilities
=================================================

   The system configuration data for your Server is stored in the CMOS and
   NVRAM in the battery-backed-up Dallas Real-Time clock module.  After the
   Server has been configured using the built-in Configuration/Setup program
   and the EISA Configuration Utility, the contents of the CMOS and NVRAM can
   be saved to a file using the Backup Utility.

   In the unlikely event that you must clear CMOS, or the system board in
   your Server must be replaced, the Restore Utility can be used to restore
   the original system configuration data to the system board using the
   file that you created using the Backup Utility.

   To use the Restore Utility, the system board must be physically configured
   the same as the original system board at the time the Backup Utility was
   used to create the configuration data file (i.e., the SCSI and Ethernet
   controllers must be jumpered to the same state (Enabled or Disabled) on
   the new system board as they were on the original system board; any add-in
   adapters must be physically installed in the same expansion slots on the
   new system board as they were on the original system board; the memory
   size must be the same as before).  Failure to configure the server
   physically the same as before will result in a POST error indicating a
   configuration change, after the Restore Utility has been run.

   To ensure the success of using the Backup and Restore Utilites, be sure to
   record the settings and slots in which add-in adapters are installed in
   the "Appendix B: Server Records" section of your PC Server User's
   Handbook.  Accurate, up-to-date records make it easier to reconfigure
   the new replacement system board.


   Instructions on using the Backup Utility:
   -----------------------------------------
   1) After configuring the Server using the built-in Configuration/Setup
      program and the EISA Configuration Utility, insert a backup copy of
      the PC Server Utilities Diskette in the diskette drive.

   2) Turn the server on.

   3) After the Server boots to the DOS prompt, type the following
      command:
                 BACKUP

      and press the Enter key.

   4) The BACKUP.BAT file will run the Backup Utility, which will save the
      contents of the CMOS and NVRAM to a file named SYSDATA.CFG on this
      diskette.

   5) Store the backup copy of the diskette in a safe place.


   Instructions on using the Restore Utility:
   ------------------------------------------
   1) After assuring the Server is physically configured the same as it
      was when the Backup Utility was used to save the configuration data,
      insert into the diskette drive the backup copy of the PC Server
      Utilities Diskette which has the file SYSDATA.CFG that was created
      for the Server using the Backup Utility.

   2) Turn on the Server.

   3) After the server boots to the DOS prompt, type the following
      command:
                 RESTORE

      and press the Enter key.

   4) The RESTORE.BAT file will run the Restore Utility, which will copy the
      contents of the SYSDATA.CFG file from this diskette to the CMOS and
      NVRAM on the system board.

   5) When the Restore Utility is finished, turn off the Server, wait at
      least 5 seconds, then turn the Server back on.  The Server will reboot
      with the same configuration data as the original system board.

   6) If a Power-on-Password was previously installed on your Server, be sure
      to use the Configuration/Setup program to reinstall a Power-on-Password.
