3-4 Compaq ProLiant DL580 Server Maintenance and Service Guide
Default Configuration
When the system is first powered up, the system ROM detects the unconfigured state of the
hardware and provides default configuration settings for most devices. By providing this
initialization, the system can run Diagnostics and other software applications before running the
normal SmartStart and System Configuration programs.
Default Configuration Messages
IMPORTANT: If you chose to format and partition the boot drive before running SmartStart and the
System Configuration programs, this action prohibits creating a System Partition and the offline remote
management features that it provides. If a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support
Software CD is in the CD-ROM drive prior to powering up the server, the system ROM powers up to
that utility.
If the system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you are prompted for the intended
operating system. The system restarts if any operating system-dependent configurations have
changed with the new operating system selection. If the selected operating system-dependent
configurations are the same as the current configurations, the system starts normally. If you
enter a wrong choice, on subsequent restarts you may change the operating system.
INSPECT
INSPECT provides configuration information such as the contents of the operating system (OS)
startup files, current memory configuration, ROM version, and Integrated Management Log
(IML) information. It operates with MS-DOS and in the MS-DOS emulation mode of MS OS/2.
Running INSPECT
1. Power down the server, then power up, and then press F10 when the cursor displays in the
upper right corner of the screen.
2. At the main menu, select Diagnostics and Utilities.
3. Press Enter.
4. Select Inspect Computer, and then press Enter.
NOTE: If Diagnostics is not installed on the hard drive, System Configuration prompts you to insert the
Diagnostics diskette into drive A.
5. Follow the instructions. The first time the INSPECT displays, select Entire System, and
then press Enter.
Printing the INSPECT Listing
Select Print on the INSPECT screen to print a copy of the INSPECT listing. Keep a copy of the
listing with each server for later reference.
