Section 5. Perform Hardware Status Check

This section will provide a simple way to verify your installation of Windows NT.
Note that Windows NT Resource Guide CD-ROM (available from Microsoft)
provide utilities to generate activities to stress the system. The following steps use
standard tools provided with the Windows NT Server installation.
1. Inspect the error log in the event viewer (Start | Programs | Administrative
Tools | Event Viewer) to verify that no errors were detected. If any errors
are found please refer to the troubleshooting section of this document and
Windows NT Reference Manual for help.
NOTE Windows NT Event Viewer may have recorded network errors
if your HP server was not connected prior to your login.
If you can not resolve the problem please contact your HP
service representative or use HP website for additional
troubleshooting resources.
2. Run the "Windows NT Diagnostic Tool" (Start | Programs |
Administrative Tools | Windows NT Diagnostic) to gather information
about system BIOS, resources, physical memory and video.
3. Check that your different adapters are correctly installed:
a. Open the control panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel)
b. Check the status of the Network adapter by selecting "Intel® PROSet
II". You may perform the diagnostics by selecting the Diagnostics tab
then click on Run Tests. Upon completion, close the "Intel PROSet II"
window (if you performed the diagnostics, Windows will recommend that
you reboot the system).
c. Check the status of your SCSI adapter by selecting SCSI Adapters in the
Control Panel and click Properties for each device.
