NMI-Expansion Bus Master A bus master type expansion board in the Time-Out indicated slot did not release the bus after its maximum time, resulting in a PC Server failure.

Revision History Table Some errors can be resolved by reviewing changes to the COMPAQ ProSignia configuration. The PC Server has an Automatic Revision Tracking (ART) feature that helps you review recent changes to the PC Server's configuration. One ART feature is the Revision History Table which contains the hardware version number of the system board and any other EISA boards providing ART-compatible revision information. The Revision History Table is stored in nonvolatile RAM and is accessed through Diagnostics, Inspect, the optional COMPAQ Server Manager/R, and the optional COMPAQ INSIGHT Manager. The Revision History Table feature allows precise identification of the components in a PC Server. The table is updated when the system ROM detects a board version change in an EISA expansion slot. The table also contains complete version information on the previous configuration. This feature allows correlation of hardware changes with PC Server failure. The following information is stored in the Revision History Table: o Type of board (System or EISA) o Slot number o EISA ID

Revision History Table
Some errors can be resolved by reviewing changes to the COMPAQ ProSignia
configuration. The PC Server has an Automatic Revision Tracking (ART)
feature that helps you review recent changes to the PC Server's
configuration.
One ART feature is the Revision History Table which contains the hardware
version number of the system board and any other EISA boards providing
ART-compatible revision information. The Revision History Table is stored
in nonvolatile RAM and is accessed through Diagnostics, Inspect, the
optional COMPAQ Server Manager/R, and the optional COMPAQ INSIGHT Manager.
The Revision History Table feature allows precise identification of the
components in a PC Server. The table is updated when the system ROM detects
a board version change in an EISA expansion slot. The table also contains
complete version information on the previous configuration. This feature
allows correlation of hardware changes with PC Server failure. The
following information is stored in the Revision History Table:
o Type of board (System or EISA)
o Slot number
o EISA ID
