3-4 Compaq ProLiant 6400R Maintenance and Service Guide Default Configuration When the system is first turned on, the system ROM detects the unconfigured state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most devices. By providing this initialization, the system can run Diagnostics and other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and System Configuration programs. Default Configuration Messages IMPORTANT: A choice to format and partition the boot drive before running SmartStart and the System Configuration programs may prohibit creating a System Partition and the offline remote management features that it provides. If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support Software CD into the CD-ROM drive before to powering on the server, the system ROM boots to that utility. If the system ROM does not detect one of the CDs, you will be prompted for the intended operating system. The system reboots if any operating system-dependent configurations have changed with the new operating system selection. If the selected configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system boots normally. If you enter a wrong choice, on subsequent reboots you may change the operating system. Inspect Utility The Inspect Utility provides configuration information, such as the contents of the operating system startup files, current memory configuration, ROM version, and Integrated Management Log information. The utility operates with Microsoft DOS and in the MS-DOS emulation mode of MS OS/2. Running the Inspect Utility 1. Turn the server off and then back on.
