Tool What it is How to run it
Array Diagnostics
Utility (ADU) 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.
Use the information provided in Array
Diagnostics Utility (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 Compaq
website:

failures or nonfatal error conditions.

installed in or connected to the server.
Specifically, it can:
■ Resolve resource conflicts in areas
such as memory, port addresses,

■ 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
If the server has bootable CD-ROM drive,
run Compaq System Configuration Utility
directly from Support Software CD
supplied with Smart Controller Option Kit,
or SmartStart and Support Software CD
supplied with server. Use the CD supplied
for latest version supporting Smart
Controller.
If the server does not have a bootable
CD-ROM drive, create diskettes with
latest version of the System
Configuration Utility from Support
Software CD, or SmartStart and Support
Software CD.
