Integrated Management Display

The Compaq Integrated Management Display (IMD) is an integrated, 16x4 character display mounted on the front of the server. This display provides easy-to-use menu-driven access to server information. The following paragraphs provide information on navigating and using the menus.

Normal Run-time Behavior

When powering up the server, the first IMD screen you see shows the model number and LCD firmware revision of your display.

Next, a series of server Power-On Self-Test (POST) operations is displayed. During POST, the display indicates the server test in progress by a spinning bar beside the menu item. When the test is finished, the IMD shows a check mark by the completed menu item. A check mark tells you the test is complete, but does not necessarily mean the test was free from errors.

If an error occurs during POST, the server logs the error to the IMD under Unviewed Events and requires you to view the error before proceeding to any other menu choices.
