Configuring the Server with SmartStart
SmartStart is the intelligent way to load system software and configure the
server, thereby achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart and Support Software CD
contains the Compaq System Configuration Utility and ROMPaq. Refer to the
Server Setup and Management pack shipped with the server for instructions on
using the SmartStart and Support Software CD.
The Compaq System Configuration utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities:
 Configuring PCI boards automatically
 Providing switch and jumper settings
 Resolving resource conflicts in areas such as memory, port addresses,
and interrupt settings
 Managing the installation of memory, processor upgrades, array
controllers, and removable storage media including hard drives, tape
drives, and diskette drives
 Setting and storing power-on features such as date and time
 Storing configuration information in nonvolatile memory
 Assisting in the installation of the operating system
 Assisting in the running of diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT
Utilities
The first time that the server is configured, the SmartStart program
automatically creates a system configuration partition and installs the
configuration utility and other Compaq utilities in that partition.
Install the SmartStart and Support Software CD:
1. Locate the SmartStart and Support Software CD in the Server Setup and
Management Pack.
NOTE: Always handle the CD by its edges rather than by the flat surfaces of the disc.
