ProLiant ML370 servers are equipped with the following standard warranties:
Three-Year, On-Site Limited Worldwide Warranty
Pre-Failure Warranty on processors, memory, and hard drives
Pre-Failure Warranty
The Compaq ProLiant ML370 server includes a Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, hard drives, and memory purchased from Compaq through
Compaq authorized resellers. Under the terms of this warranty, supported
components are eligible for replacement before they actually fail, provided that
you use Compaq Insight Manager and that the system determines that
supported components have degraded below predetermined reliability
thresholds within the product warranty period.
Insight Manager Alert
When Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible for
Pre-Failure Warranty replacement, follow the on-screen instructions or contact
a Compaq authorized service provider in your area. A yellow status indicator
on the Insight Manager control panel signals that a component is in a degraded
condition and recommends that you replace the component in a pre-failure
condition.

Server Configuration and Management
Compaq servers offer an extensive set of features and optional tools to support
effective server management and configuration:
Default Configuration
Compaq SmartStart
Server Management
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq System Configuration Utility
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
Compaq Integrated Remote Console
Compaq Integrated Management Log
Server Health Log
Integrated Management Display Option Kit
Remote Insight Board Option Kit
Default Configuration
When the system starts, the system ROM detects the pre-configured state of
the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most devices. By
providing this initialization, the system can run diagnostic and other software
applications before running SmartStart and other system configuration
programs.
NOTE: If you format and partition your boot drive before running SmartStart, you will not
be able to create a system configuration partition.
As part of the default configuration process, you are prompted for your
intended installation operating system (OS). On subsequent restarts, you may
change your OS selection as needed.
NOTE: An information message indicating that you are running with a default
configuration occurs each time you start the system until you run the System
Configuration program.

Server Features 1-9
Compaq SmartStart
SmartStart, stored on the SmartStart and Support Software CD, is the
intelligent way to configure your Compaq server with Novell, Microsoft, SCO,
and IBM system software. SmartStart uses a step-by-step process to configure
the server and to load the system software, thereby achieving a well-integrated
server and ensuring maximum dependability and supportability.
The SmartStart and Support Software CD also contains the Compaq System
Configuration Utility and ROMPaq. For information about using SmartStart
utilities, refer to the Server Setup and Management Pack shipped with your
server.
Server Management
Server management features provide in-depth monitoring, analysis, and
control of the fault-tolerance, performance, and configuration aspects of your
servers. Server management features include:
Server parameter tracking
Server fault tolerance
Recovery services
Remote services
For additional information about server management features, refer to the
Documentation CD shipped with your server.
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is installed from the Compaq Management CD and
is an easy-to-use, intuitive software utility designed for collecting server
information. Insight Manager performs the following functions:
Forwarding server alerts and fault conditions
Monitoring fault conditions and server performance
Controlling server security and configurations
Controlling servers or server groups remotely
Initiating rapid recovery services

1-10 Compaq ProLiant ML370 Setup and Installation Guide
In Compaq servers, each hardware subsystem, including disk storage, system
memory, and system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities.
The Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before they
happen, keeps the system up and running in the unlikely event of a failure, and
delivers rapid recovery to normal server operation after a service disruption.
For information about Compaq Insight Manager, refer to the Server Setup and
Management Pack shipped with your server.
Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration functions:
Configuring PCI boards automatically
Providing switch and jumper settings
Resolving resource conflicts in memory, port addresses, and interrupt
request (IRQs) settings
Managing memory installation, processor upgrades, array controller
upgrades, and configuration of mass storage devices such as 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 running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT
Utilities
The first time your server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system configuration partition and installs the System Configuration
Utility and other Compaq utilities into that partition.
For information concerning this utility, refer to the SmartStart documentation
and the Documentation CD shipped with your server.

Server Features 1-11
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) enables the server to boot
automatically from either the operating system or the Compaq Utilities
features. If there is a critical system failure, ASR-2 automatically restarts the
server and pages a designated system administrator. For additional information
on the ASR-2 feature, refer to the Documentation CD that shipped with your
server.
Compaq Integrated Remote Console
The standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console (IRC) performs a wide
range of configuration activities, is accessible using ANSI terminal emulation,
and can operate independent of the operating system. Features of the IRC
include:
Support for remote server reboot
Access to system configuration
Out-of-band communication with dedicated external management
modem connected to the server
For information about the standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console, refer
to the Compaq Integrated Remote Console User Guide included on the
Documentation CD.
Compaq Integrated Management Log
The standard Compaq Integrated Management Log (IML) records events and
stores them in an easily viewable form. The IML records hundreds of events
and marks each event with a time-stamp keyed to one-minute granularity.
For information about using the Integrated Management Log, refer to
Chapter 7, "Integrated Management Log," in this guide.
Compaq Integrated Management Display (Option)
The Integrated Management Display (IMD) is an optional LCD display panel
that allows you to diagnose and service the server without using a keyboard or
monitor.

Manageability
Typical service and administrative information displays include:
G Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages
G User-defined administrative information
G POST and run-time error events
G System information
Ease of Use
The IMD provides a 16 x 4-character display and a four-button control
panel for easy navigation through display menus.
Compaq Remote Insight Board (PCI Option)
The Compaq Remote Insight Board PCI option is a PCI-based, single-board
computer that is installed to provide remote management of a server,
regardless of the state of the host operating system or the host CPU.
A built-in Intel i960 processor and battery backup allows the Remote Insight
module to work independent of the host server operating system. Remote
Insight provides remote access, sends alerts, and performs other functions,
even if the host server operating system is not responding or if the server has
lost power.
NOTE: To function properly, the Remote Insight Board must be installed in a 32-bit PCI
slot (slot 1 or 2).
