What it is
Utility to assist testing and/or verifying
operation of Compaq hardware. If
problems are found, Compaq
Diagnostics isolates failures down to the
replaceable part whenever possible.
The Inspect Utility provides a report
detailing system inventory and
configuration information.
A client/server application used to
remotely manage Compaq systems in a
network environment. Reports hardware
fault conditions (both failure and
prefailure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
An information-gathering program that
runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information
from various sources. A utility for
servers running Microsoft Windows NT
or Novell NetWare.
If a significant change occurs between
data-gathering intervals, previous
information is marked, and the survey
text file is overwritten to reflect the
latest configuration and changes since
the last configuration. This utility
provides a historical record of change
events for server hardware and
software.
How to run it
Diagnostics and utilities must be
accessed when a system configuration
error is detected during Power-On
Self-Test (POST). For a complete list of
POST error messages, see the Compaq
Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
Compaq Diagnostics software is also
available on the Compaq SmartStart and
Support Software CD. A Diagnostics
diskette can be created from the
SmartStart and Support Software CD,
and Diagnostics can then be run from the
diskette.
Run the Inspect Utility from the Compaq
Diagnostics program.
For more information, refer to the
Compaq Management CD and the
Compaq Insight Manager User Guide.
Install the Survey Utility from SmartStart,
the Compaq Integration Maintenance
Utility, or the Compaq Management CD.
