The SmartStart Diskette Builder is a utility that uses data stored on the
SmartStart CD to create support diskettes. You can create support
diskettes for specific configuration needs or for software that cannot be
used directly from the SmartStart CD.
Server Features 1-13
SmartStart Scr ipting Toolkit
■
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit contains a set of DOS-based utilities
that enable you to configure and deploy servers in a customized,
predictable, and unattended manner. These utilities provide scripted

hardware and tests the system to ensure that it is operating properly. If
you used SmartStart to install your operating system, you can access the
Diagnostics Utility from the SmartStart CD.
■ Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
ASR-2 enables the server to boot automatically from either the
operating system or from Compaq utilities. If there is a critical system
failure, ASR-2 automatically restarts the server and can be config ured t o
page a designated system administrator.
■ Integrated Management Log (IML)
The IML provides a detailed log of key system events. This log also
monitors the server health log and is accessible from Compaq Insight
Manager XE and your Remot e Insight Li ghts-Out Edi tion option.

Planning the Server Installation
To ensure maximum performance and availability from your Compaq
ProLiant ML370 Generation 2 server, plan your o perating environment before
beginning server installation.

This chapter discusses site preparation and guidelines for ProLiant ML370
Generation 2 rack and tower server installation including:
■ Optimum environmen ts
■ Rack planni ng re sour c es
■ Rack warnings

Optimum Environment
Peak server performance depends in part on the environment you select for
installing your server or servers. Select a location that meets standard
environmental requirements for the following:
■ Space and airflow
■ Power
■ Electrical grounding
■ Temperature
Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following spatial
requireme nts when deciding where to install your Compaq, Telc o, or
third-party rack:
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 inches) in front of the rack.
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 inches) in the back of the
rack.
■ Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 inches) from the back of
the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.
Compaq servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air
through the rear door. The refore, the front and rear rack doors must be
adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the
rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from
the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
