Crash Screen - Acer ARMC User Manual

Crash Screen

This page allows you to view the last text-based screen in the event that the host system
locks up or freezes during a blue screen. This is useful because it allows you to
troubleshoot the host system.
Note: To view the Crash Screen, you need to have Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE)
installed. The Crash Screen viewer is a Java™ Applet and therefore needs JRE. Visit the
following website for the JRE installation files:
http://java.sun.com/
Note:
You must install the ARMC Server Heartbeat program to enable the Crash Screen
function. The Crash Screen function starts automatically once the ARMC Server
Heartbeat program is installed. The ARMC Server Heartbeat program is located on your
ARMC CD and must be installed on the host system. The host system is the system that
has the ARMC card physically installed into it.
Note:
The maximum size that the Crash Screen image can be is 50 Kb. Because of this, only
one Crash Screen image can be saved. Also, only text-based crashes can be captured.
Graphics-based freezes and lock ups are not captured to the Crash Screen program.
Note: You cannot flush a captured Crash Screen image from the ARMC card's memory. It will
automatically be erased when another Crash Screen image is saved.
