Refer to Compaq Support Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers. 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 latest version supporting SMART Controller. If the sever 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. For use with Pentium II and Pentium III Xeon processor-based servers only

What is it
How do I 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.
This tool is available for all Compaq
servers covered by this guide.
See the Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU)
section later in this chapter.
Drive Array
Advanced
Diagnostics (DAAD)
The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a
DOS-based tool 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 this tool, visit the Compaq
Integrated
Management Log
A log of system events, such as system
failures or non-fatal error conditions.
You can 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 interrupts (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 latest version supporting
SMART Controller.
If the sever 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.
