Compaq N2400 - TaskSmart - 1 GB RAM Administration Manual page 301

Before ASR-2 restarts the server, ASR-2 records any information available
about the condition of the operating system in the IML. This information can
be used to diagnose an operating system nonresponse or server lock-up while
still allowing the server to be restarted.
The following ASR-2 flowchart shows you the sequence of events after a
hardware or software error occurs.
Unattended server starts the
operating system.
If the server continues experiencing
hardware/software errors and the
number of ASR cycles exceeds the
specified number of recovery attempts,
the server logs an error to the Server
Health Log or the Integrated
Management Log and starts the
Compaq Utilities from the Compaq
system partition on the hard drive.
