Tool What it is How to run it
Array Diagnostics
Utility (ADU)
A Windows-based tool designed to run
on all Compaq servers that support
Compaq array controllers and are
running SmartStart 4.10 or later. 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.
Use the information provided in ADU later
in this chapter.
Drive Array
Advanced
Diagnostics (DAAD)
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.
For a list of Compaq servers still
supported by this tool, visit the

Integrated
Management Log
(IML)
A log of system events, such as system
failures or nonfatal error conditions.
View events in the IML:
■ On the Integrated Management
Display
■ From within Compaq Insight
Manager
■ From within Compaq Survey Utility
The IML requires Compaq operating
system-dependent drivers. Refer to the
Compaq Support Software CD for
instructions on installing the appropriate
drivers.
System
Configuration Utility
(SCU)
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)
■ Automatically configure PCI boards
■ Manage installation of 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
■ Assist in reconfiguring a server that
cannot otherwise be restored
If the server has a bootable CD-ROM
drive, run Compaq System Configuration
Utility directly from the Support
Software CD supplied with the Compaq
Smart Array Controller Option Kit, or
SmartStart and the Support Software CD
supplied with server. Use the CD supplied
for the latest version.
If the server does not have a bootable
CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with
latest version of the System
Configuration Utility from the Support
Software CD, or the SmartStart and
Support Software CD.
