ASR Security The standard Compaq ProSignia 300 security password features function differently during Automatic Server Recovery-2 than during a typical system startup. During ASR the system will not prompt for the Power-On Password. This allows the ASR to restart the Operating System or Compaq Utilities without user intervention. To maintain system security, the Server should be set to boot in Network Server Mode (an option in the System Configuration Utility). This option ensures that the Server keyboard is locked until you enter the Keyboard Password. You should also select an Administrator Password (an option in the System Configuration Utility). During attended ASR (local or remote), you must enter this Administrator Password before any modifications can be made to the Server configuration. Server Health Logs The Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any Server failures and correlate hardware changes with Server failure. The Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table. If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log. Whenever boards or components (that support revision tracking) are updated to a new revision, the Revision History Table will be updated. Critical Error Log The Critical Error Log records noncorrectable memory errors as well as catastrophic hardware and software errors that typically cause the system to fail. This information helps you quickly identify and correct the problem, minimizing downtime. The log can be viewed through Inspect Utility, Diagnostics Utility, Compaq Insight Manager, or the optional Server Manager/R. The Diagnostics Utility either resolves the error or suggests corrective action. The Critical Error Log identifies and records all the following errors. Each error type is briefly explained below. When any of these errors are encountered, you should run the Diagnostics Utility. Table 3-18. Critical Error Log Error Messages Error Message Description Automatic Server Recovery The system detected a data error in base Base Memory Parity Error memory following a reset due to the Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) Timer expiration.

The standard Compaq ProSignia 300 security password features function
differently during Automatic Server Recovery-2 than during a typical system
startup.
During ASR the system will not prompt for the Power-On Password. This
allows the ASR to restart the Operating System or Compaq Utilities without
user intervention.
To maintain system security, the Server should be set to boot in Network
Server Mode (an option in the System Configuration Utility). This option
ensures that the Server keyboard is locked until you enter the Keyboard

You should also select an Administrator Password (an option in the System
Configuration Utility). During attended ASR (local or remote), you must
enter this Administrator Password before any modifications can be made to
the Server configuration.

Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile RAM and consist of the
Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table.
If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in

Whenever boards or components (that support revision tracking) are updated
to a new revision, the Revision History Table will be updated.
