Hardware Requirements

To use this level of ASR-2 over a modem, you need the following:

A Compaq external Netelligent modem or compatible

System Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed on the Compaq system
partition of the hard drive

ASR-2 configured to load Compaq Utilities after restart

You can also run Compaq Utilities remotely over an IPX or IP network using the Network
feature:

To use Compaq Utilities on an IPX network, you must have Compaq Insight
Manager 2.0 or later or an NVT (Novell Virtual Terminal) Terminal Emulator with
VT100 or ANSI terminal capabilities.

To use Compaq Utilities on an IP network, you must have Compaq Insight Manager 2.10
or later, or a Telnet Terminal Emulator with VT100 or ANSI capabilities.

If you are notified that ASR-2 restarted the server and you have restarted to Compaq Utilities,
use the Inspect Utility or Compaq Insight Manager to view the critical error in the Compaq
system partition. Run Diagnostics to diagnose and resolve the problem.

You can configure ASR-2 to restart the server into Compaq Utilities to diagnose the critical
error or to start the operating system to return the server to operational status as rapidly as
possible.

When you enable ASR-2 to start the operating system, the server tries to start from the primary
partition. In this mode, ASR-2 can page you if a critical error occurs, but you cannot access
Compaq Utilities.

When you enable ASR-2 to start Compaq Utilities, the server restarts after a critical error and
loads Compaq Utilities from the Compaq system partition on the hard drive.
