Chapter 10
NOTE HP recommends using the HP DiagTools utility to verify all
HP NetServer functions are operating correctly, after
completing all the configuration topics. The HP DiagTools
utility also generates a text file containing the hardware
detected and the DiagTools test results. This text file, called a
support ticket, should be saved to a diskette and used for future
reference, especially by your support provider.
Event Log Report Utility: Displays all logged HP NetServer management
events, Power-On Self Test (POST) errors and other system events.
Diskette Library: Allows you to conveniently generate a flexible disk for
any utility available on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. For
example, you can create flexible disks for the following items:
BIOS Update, NOS Drivers, HP NetServer Assistant, PowerWise
Assistant, and DiagTools.
Print or View Information: Allows you to print or view the current
system configuration including details of which boards are detected in the
HP NetServer and which resources are allocated to the boards.
Change User Preferences: Lets you change the language used by the HP
NetServer Navigator CD-ROM, and the system date and time.

Setup Utility

The HP NetServer has a Setup Utility (BIOS) in read-only memory. The utility
features several system configuration and housekeeping options, including
security, and system console characteristics.
The following sections describe how to access the setup utility, and how to
perform selected tasks within the utility.

Starting the Setup Utility

To reach the Setup Utility, boot or reboot the system. After the first boot messages
are displayed, the following prompt appears:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Press F2 while the prompt is displayed. More boot messages appear, followed by
the message Entering Setup... After the embedded Symbios SCSI
initialization and the ROM Option scan both finish, the main Setup screen
