Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities including:
Configures PCI boards automatically
Provides switch and jumper settings
Resolves resource conflicts in areas such as memory, processor
upgrades, and mass storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and
diskette drives
Sets and stores power-on features like date and time
Stores configuration information of the operating system
Assists in the installation of the operating system
Assists in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT utilities
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 operation. For information concerning the utility, refer
to the SmartStart documentation and the System Reference Library CD included
in the shipping box.
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) enables the server to boot automatically
from either the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. If there is a critical
system failure, ASR-2 automatically restarts the server and pages a designated
system administrator. See the Systems Reference Library CD (SRL) for more
information on the ASR-2 feature.
