hardware fault conditions (both failure
and pre-failure) and collects data for
reporting and graphing.
An online information gathering agent
that runs on servers, gathering critical
hardware and software information
from various sources. A utility for
servers running Windows NT or
NetWare.
If a significant change occurs between
data gathering intervals, previous
information is marked, and the survey text file is overwritten to reflect the
latest configuration and changes since
last configuration. This allows a
historical record of change events for
server hardware and software.
Diagnostics and Utilities are located on
system partition on hard drive and must
be accessed when a system
configuration error is detected during
Power-On Self-Test (POST). Compaq
Diagnostics software is also available on

System
Configuration Utility
A Windows-based tool designed to run
on all Compaq systems that support
Compaq array controllers. Two main
functions of ADU are to collect all
possible information about the array
controllers in the system, and generate
a list of detected problems.
This tool is available for all Compaq
servers covered by this guide.
The predecessor to ADU, DAAD is a
DOS-based tool for Compaq servers
with Smart Array Controllers. DAAD
collects information about the array
controllers in the system and offers a
list of detected problems.
A log of system events, such as system
failures or non-fatal error conditions.
You can view events in the Integrated
Management Log:
■ On the Integrated Management
Display
■ From within Compaq Insight
Manager
■ From within Compaq Survey Utility
Utility to easily configure the hardware
installed in or connected to the server.
Specifically, it can:
■ Resolve resource conflicts in areas
such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupts (IRQs)
■ Configure PCI boards automatically
■ Provide switch and jumper settings
■ Manage installation of memory,
processor upgrades, and mass
storage devices such as hard drives,
tape drives, and diskette drives
■ Store configuration information in
nonvolatile memory
■ Assist in installation of an operating
system
■ Assist in running diagnostic tools
such as TEST and INSPECT
See the Array Diagnostics Utility (ADU)
section later in this chapter.

Default Configuration
When the system is first powered on, 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 may prohibit creating a System Partition and the off-line remote
management features that it provides.
If you insert a System Configuration, Diagnostics, or SmartStart and Support Software CD into
the CD-ROM drive prior to powering on the Server, the system ROM boots to that utility. If the
system ROM does not detect one of those CDs, you will be prompted for the intended operating
system. The system reboots 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 boots normally. If you
enter a wrong choice, on subsequent re-boots you may change the operating system.
Inspect Utility
The Inspect Utility provides configuration information such as the contents of the operating
system startup files, the current memory configuration, the ROM version, and Integrated
Management Log information. It operates with MS-DOS and in the MS-DOS emulation mode
of MS OS/2.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)
POST is a series of diagnostic tests that run automatically on Compaq computers when the
system is turned on. POST checks the following assemblies to ensure that the computer system
is functioning properly:
■ System ROM
■ Keyboard
■ Power supply
■ System board
■ Memory
■ Memory expansion boards
■ Controllers
■ Diskette drives
■ Hard drives
■ Processor power modules
■ Fans

POST Error Messages
If POST finds an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an audible and/or visual
message. If an error code displays on the screen during POST or after resetting the system, use
the instructions in the POST Error Messages table. The error messages and codes listed include
all codes generated by Compaq products. The system generates only those codes that are
applicable to the configuration and options.
NOTE: Many of the actions listed require you to run Diagnostics or the Compaq System Configuration
Utility. Steps for running these utilities are provided in this chapter following the POST Error Messages
tables.
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem.
After completing each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition
has been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics
program again. Follow this procedure until Diagnostics no longer detects an error condition.

Diagnostics Software
Test Error Codes Tables include all test error codes generated by Compaq products. Each code
has a corresponding description and recommended action(s). The system generates only those
codes that are applicable to the configuration and options.
When you select Diagnostics and Utilities from the System Configuration Utility main menu,
the utility prompts you to test, inspect, upgrade, and diagnose the server.
Diagnostics and Utilities are located on the system partition on the hard drive and must be
accessed when a system configuration error is detected during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
Compaq Diagnostics software is also available on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software
CD. You can create a Diagnostics diskette from the SmartStart and Support Software CD and
run Diagnostics from diskette.
The following options are available from the Diagnostics and Utilities menu:
■ Test Computer
■ Inspect Computer
■ Upgrade Firmware
■ Remote Utilities
Diagnostic Tools 3-21
■ Diagnose Drive Array
Diagnostic error codes are generated when the Diagnostics software recognizes a problem.
These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.
Steps for Diagnostics
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists the steps necessary to correct the problem.
After completing each step, run the Diagnostics utility to verify that the error condition has been
corrected. If the error code reappears:
1. Perform the next step listed in the table.
2. Run the Diagnostics program again.
3. Follow this procedure until the Diagnostics program no longer detects an error condition.

Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU)
Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) is a Windows-based software tool designed to run on all
Compaq servers that support Compaq array controllers, and are running SmartStart 4.10 or later.
The two main functions of ADU are to collect all possible information about array controllers in
the system and to generate a list of detected problems. The error messages and codes listed
include all codes generated by Compaq products. The system generates only codes applicable to
the configuration and options in the server.
ADU works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem
exists. This data can then be saved to a file. In severe situations, this file can be sent to Compaq
for analysis. In most cases, ADU provides enough information to initiate problem resolution
immediately.
NOTE: ADU does not write to the drives, destroy data, or change or remove configuration information.
Starting ADU
1. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Reboot the system from the SmartStart CD.
3. Select Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) from the System Utilities menu.
A “Please Wait” panel displays, indicating that ADU is identifying the system parameters.
ADU gathers information from all of the array controllers in the system.
The time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of the system.
CAUTION: Do not cycle the power during this process. ADU must perform low-level operations
that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert to a previous level of firmware if the
firmware was soft-upgraded.
4. When the information gathering process is complete, ADU displays the main screen or a
panel indicating any problems detected.
5. To generate an ADU report, select File then Save Data from the command menu.

Controller is not configured. If
controller was previously configured
and you change drive locations, there
may be a problem with placement of
the drives. ADU examines each
physical drive and looks for drives
that have been moved to a different
drive bay.
The controller returned an error from
its internal Power-On Self Tests.
ADU did not find a valid configuration
signature to use to get the data.
Nonvolatile RAM may not be present
(unconfigured) or the signature
present in nonvolatile RAM may not
match the signature on the
controller.
Posted-writes have been disabled by
the issuing of the Accelerator Disable
command. This occurred because of
an operating system device driver.
Firmware on this physical drive is
below the latest recommended
version.
Look for messages indicating which drives have
been moved. If none appear and drive swapping
did not occur, run the Array Configuration Utility
to configure the controller and the System
Configuration Utility to configure nonvolatile
RAM. Do not run either Utility if you believe
drive swapping has occurred.
Replace the controller.
Run the System Configuration Utility to
configure the controller and nonvolatile RAM.
Restart the system. Run the Array Configuration
Utility to reinitialize the array accelerator board.
Run the Options ROMPaq Utility to upgrade the
drive firmware to the latest revision.

Check all cable connections first. The cables
could be bad, loose, or disconnected. Turn on
the system and attempt to reconnect
signal/power cable to the drive. If this does not
work, replace the cable. If that does not work,
the drive may need to be replaced.
If the replacement was intentional, allow the
drive to rebuild.

may occur if a drive has an
intermittent failure (for example, if a
drive has previously failed, then
when ADU is run, the drive starts
working again).
The indicated physical drive has
failed.
This drive is being rebuilt from the
corresponding mirror or parity data.
The 210-megabyte hard drive has
firmware version 2.30 or 2.31.
An error occurred while ADU was
trying to read the upload code
information from this drive.
The physical drive was incorrectly
replaced after another drive failed.
ADU unable to get monitor and
performance data due to fatal
command problem such as drive
time-out, or unable to get data due to
these features not supported on the
controller.
Replace the drive.
Replace the drive.
Normal operations should occur.
Replace the drive.
If there were multiple errors, this drive may
need to be replaced.
Replace the drive that was incorrectly replaced
and replace the original drive that failed. Do not
run the System Configuration Utility and try to
reconfigure; data will be lost.
Check for other errors (time-outs, and so on). If
no other errors occur, upgrade the firmware to a
version that supports monitor and performance,
if desired.
