In Compaq servers, each hardware subsystem, including disk storage, system
memory, and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities.
The Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they
happen, keeps the system up and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and
delivers rapid recovery to normal server operation after a service disruption.
For information about Compaq Insight Manager, refer to the Server Setup and
Management Pack shipped with your server.
Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration functions:
Configuring PCI boards automatically
Providing switch and jumper settings
Resolving resource conflicts in memory, port addresses, and interrupt
request (IRQs) settings
Managing memory installation, processor upgrades, array controller
upgrades, and configuration of mass storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives, and diskette drives
Setting and storing power-on features such as date and time
Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory
Assisting in the installation of the operating system
Assisting in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT
Utilities
The first time your server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system configuration partition and installs the System Configuration
Utility and other Compaq utilities into that partition.
For information concerning this utility, refer to the SmartStart documentation
and the Documentation CD shipped with your server.
