error to the Critical Error Log and continue to boot the COMPAQ Utilities from the hard drive. The requirements to use this level of the ASR feature are: o Operating system with ASR support o ASR configured to load the operating system after reboot o Optional Hayes compatible modem (only required for paging) Attended Recovery For local or remote installations where it is desirable to have you supervise the recovery, ASR will log the error information to the Critical Error Log, reset the PC Server, test all memory, automatically deallocate any bad memory blocks found, page you, boot the COMPAQ Utilities from the hard drive, and place the modem in auto answer mode. These utilities are placed on a special system utilities partition on the hard drive during the system configuration process. If a modem with an auto-answer feature is installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or reconfigure the PC Server; otherwise, this can be done from the PC Server console. The requirements to use this level of the ASR feature are: o Operating System with ASR support o EISA Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed on the system partition of the hard drive o ASR configured to load the COMPAQ Utilities after reboot o Optional Hayes compatible modem with auto-answer feature (only required for remote operations and paging) For remote operations, the administrator must have access to a communications software package capable of terminal emulation to a local terminal with VT100 or ANSI terminal capabilities. NOTE: If the remote site is using something other than these two packages, it is still possible to configure remotely as long as the package contains either an ANSI terminal or VT100 terminal emulator set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. However, additional setup not outlined in this document may be required, and functionality may be reduced. ASR Security The standard COMPAQ ProSignia security password features function differently during Automatic Server Recovery than during a typical system startup. During ASR the PC Server will not prompt for the Power-On Password. This allows the ASR to restart the Operating System or COMPAQ utilities without user intervention.

Error Log, reset the PC Server, test all memory, automatically deallocate
any bad memory blocks found, page you, boot the COMPAQ Utilities from the

placed on a special system utilities partition on the hard drive during the
system configuration process. If a modem with an auto-answer feature is
installed, you can dial in and remotely diagnose or reconfigure the PC
Server; otherwise, this can be done from the PC Server console. The

o EISA Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed on the
system partition of the hard drive
o ASR configured to load the COMPAQ Utilities after reboot
o Optional Hayes compatible modem with auto-answer feature (only required
for remote operations and paging)
For remote operations, the administrator must have access to a
