Integrated Management Display
For use with Intel Pentium II Xeon processor-based servers only
Contrast
The level of contrast can be adjusted on the Integrated Display by using the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows. Press the
UP
arrow to increase the contrast, and press the
DOWN
arrow to decrease the contrast.
Navigating the Menus
The Compaq Integrated Management Display is menu-driven and easy to use.
Information to navigate and utilize the menus follows.
Normal Run-time Behavior
When powering up the server, the first IMD screen shows the model number
and LCD firmware revision of the server’s display.
Next, a series of server Power-On Self-Test (POST) operations is displayed.
During POST, the display indicates the server test in progress by a spinning bar
beside the menu item. When the test is finished, the IMD shows a check mark
by the completed menu item. A check mark means that the test is complete, but
does not necessarily mean the test was free from errors.
If an error occurs during POST, the server logs the error to the IMD under
Unviewed Events and requires the user to view the error before proceeding to
any other menu choices.
If there are no errors, the Idle Screen Text appears. Figure 6-3 shows the default
screen but this screen could be different if the text changed during
configuration.
Navigation Buttons
To navigate through the menus, use the four buttons shown in Figure 6-4. The
UP and DOWN arrow keys (
±
and
²
) allow the user to move through the menu
screens and choose menu items. The right button (
³
) acts as an Enter key and
allows the server to travel down through the menus. The left button (
´
) acts as
an Escape key and allows travel back up the menu.
