and interrupt requests (IRQs)
Managing the installation of mass storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives, and diskette drives
Setting and storing power-on features like date and time
Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory
Assisting in installing an operating system
Assisting in running diagnostic tools such as the Test and
Inspect Utilities
If the SmartStart and Support Software CD is used the first time the server is
configured, the SmartStart program automatically creates a system partition
and installs the System Configuration Utility and other Compaq utilities in
that partition.
