Feature Description
Service Session Provides remote access to all the utilities on the system partition, including
Diagnostics utilities, Inspect, ROMPaq, Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD),
and the System Configuration Utility. Also provides the capability for remote file
transfer services to and from the system partition.
Disk-Based Diagnostics Provides remote diagnostic capability after you configure ASR-2 and the reset
restart option to restart from Compaq Utilities. Also allows you to view Health Logs.
Disk-based diagnostics can also be run locally. Press F10 during the restart
process when the cursor moves to the upper-right corner of the monitor.
Server Restart Provides the ability to restart the server remotely from Compaq Insight Manager
while the operating system is running. Allows the server to restart back to the
operating system or restart to the system partition. Provides a complete system
reset to all peripherals. If you select Boot to Compaq Utilities from Compaq Insight
Manager, Compaq Utilities loads the appropriate remote services so that remote
access is available. If network status is enabled, network support is loaded. If
Dial-In status is enabled, the modem is set to auto-answer.
Configuration Utility

during the restart process when the cursor moves to the upper-right corner of the
monitor.
Firmware Updates Provides the ability to update the server firmware remotely. Uses firmware images
on the system partition that might have been previously uploaded with the file
transfer services.
