If the server has bootable CD-ROM drive, run Compaq System Configuration Utility directly from Support Software CD supplied with SMART Controller Option Kit or SmartStart and Support Software CD supplied with server. Use the CD supplied for the latest version supporting the SMART Controller. If the server does not have a bootable CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with latest version of the System Configuration Utility from Support Software CD or SmartStart and Support Software CD.

Tool
What it is
How to run it
Array Diagnostics
Utility (ADU)
A Windows-based tool designed to run
on all Compaq systems that support
Compaq array controllers. Two main
functions of ADU are to collect all
possible information about the array
controllers in the system and generate a
list of detected problems.
The tool is available for all Compaq
servers covered by this guide.
Use the information provided in the
“Array Diagnostics Utility” later in this
chapter.
Drive Array
Advanced
Diagnostics
The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a tool
based on the disk operating system
(DOS) for Compaq servers with Smart
Array Controllers. DAAD collects
information about the array controllers in
the system and offers a list of detected
problems.
For a list of Compaq servers still
supported by the tool, visit the Compaq
website:
Integrated
Management Log
A log of system events, such as system
failures or nonfatal error conditions.
View events in the Integrated
Management Log
■
On the Integrated Management
Display
■
From within Compaq Insight
Manager
■
From within Compaq Survey Utility
The Integrated Management Log
requires Compaq operating
system-dependent drivers. Refer to
Compaq Support Software CD for
instructions on installing the appropriate
drivers.
System
Configuration Utility
Utility to easily configure the hardware
installed in or connected to the server.
Specifically, it can
■
Resolve resource conflicts in areas
such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupt requests (IRQs)
■
Configure PCI boards automatically
■
Provide switch and jumper settings
■
Manage installation of memory,
processor upgrades, and mass
storage devices, such as hard
drives, tape drives, and diskette
drives
■
Store configuration information in
nonvolatile memory
■
Assist in installation of an operating
system
■
Assist in running diagnostic tools,
such as TEST and INSPECT
If the server has bootable CD-ROM drive,
run Compaq System Configuration Utility
directly from Support Software CD
supplied with SMART Controller Option
Kit or SmartStart and Support
Software CD supplied with server. Use
the CD supplied for the latest version
supporting the SMART Controller.
If the server does not have a bootable
CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with
latest version of the System
Configuration Utility from Support
Software CD or SmartStart and Support
Software CD.
