Diagnostics and Other Utilities
■ When you select the Diagnostics and Utilities feature from the System
Configuration Utility main menu, the utility provides prompts to test,
inspect, upgrade, and diagnose the server.
■ Diagnostics and Utilities are located on the system partition on the hard
drive and must be accessed when a system configuration error is
detected during the POST.
■ Run the Inspect Utility once the computer has been configured to get
detailed information about the server’s hardware configuration.
■ For instructions on using the Diagnostics Utility and other Compaq
utilities, refer to the Compaq website:

Integrated Management Log
The Compaq Integrated Management Log (IML) records system events and
stores them in an easily viewable form. The IML records hundreds of events
instead of the 16 events that the Critical and Correctable Error Logs are
capable of recording. The IML also marks each event with a time-stamp with
one-minute granularity, instead of the one-hour granularity of the previous
logs.
Events listed in the Integrated Management Log are categorized as one of four
event severity levels:
■ Status indicates that the message is informational only.
■ Repaired indicates that corrective action has been taken.
■ Caution indicates a nonfatal error condition.
■ Critical indicates a component failure.
