ASR-2 Security

The standard Compaq password features function differently during ASR-2 than during a typical system startup.

During ASR-2, the system does not prompt for the Power-On Password. This allows the ASR-2 to restart the operating system or Compaq Utilities without user intervention.

To maintain system security, set the server to boot in Network Server Mode (an option in the System Configuration Utility). This option ensures that the server keyboard is locked until you enter the Keyboard Password.

Select an Administrator Password (an option in the System Configuration Utility). During attended ASR-2 (local or remote), you must enter this Administrator Password before any modifications can be made to the server configuration.

Server Health Logs

In some servers, Server Health Logs are replaced by the IML, if it is supported. See “Integrated Management Display” in this chapter for more information.

The Server Health Logs contain information to help identify and correct any server failures and correlate hardware changes with server failure. The Server Health Logs are stored in nonvolatile RAM and consist of the Critical Error Log and the Revision History Table.

If errors occur, information about the errors is automatically stored in the Critical Error Log.

Whenever boards or components (that support revision tracking) are updated to a new revision, the Revision History Table will be updated.

1850R specifications

The Compaq 1850R, introduced in the late 1990s, is a robust and versatile server known for its reliability and performance. This rack-mounted server was designed to cater to the evolving needs of businesses that required high availability and scalability in their IT infrastructure.

At the core of the Compaq 1850R is its support for dual Intel Pentium III processors. This dual-processor configuration provides enhanced multitasking capabilities, allowing the server to handle more simultaneous processes effectively. With a clock speed of up to 1 GHz, businesses could run demanding applications and services with improved speed and efficiency.

One of the standout features of the Compaq 1850R is its impressive memory capacity. The server supports up to 8GB of SDRAM, which allows it to manage larger datasets and facilitate better performance for memory-intensive applications. This makes the 1850R an ideal choice for database management and enterprise resource planning.

Storage options are another highlight of the Compaq 1850R. The server can accommodate multiple hot-swappable hard drive bays, supporting both SCSI and IDE drives. This flexibility allows organizations to scale their storage needs as their data requirements grow. The ability to add or replace drives without downtime is a significant advantage for maintaining high availability environments.

In terms of networking, the Compaq 1850R features integrated Ethernet ports for reliable network connectivity. The server also supports advanced RAID configurations, which enhances data protection and improves performance by distributing I/O across multiple drives. This feature is particularly important for businesses that rely heavily on data integrity and availability.

The design of the 1850R is optimized for rack mounting, a standard for enterprise environments looking to maximize space and efficiency. Its compact form factor fits seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks, making it suitable for various server rooms and data centers.

Overall, the Compaq 1850R is a powerful server that combines solid processing capability, extensive memory support, and flexible storage options. It remains a valuable asset for organizations seeking to build a reliable and scalable IT infrastructure. As businesses continue to demand efficiency and performance from their servers, the 1850R stands as a testament to Compaq's commitment to quality and innovation in the tech industry.
