How to run it
Diagnostics and utilities are located on
the Compaq system partition on the hard
drive and must be accessed when a
system configuration error is detected
during Power-On Self-Test (POST). The
server must be connected to a monitor to
allow viewing of error messages. For a
complete list of POST error messages,
refer to the Compaq Servers
Troubleshooting Guide.
Diagnostic software is located on the
Compaq website for easy download and
diskette creation.
The Compaq Inspect utility can be run
from the Compaq Diagnostics program.
For more information, refer to the
Compaq Management CD and the
Compaq Insight Manager User Guide.
The IML requires Compaq operating
system-dependent drivers. Refer to the
SmartStart for Servers CD for instructions
on installing the appropriate drivers.
