Tool Description How to run it
Compaq Survey Utility An online information-gathering program that
runs on servers, gathering critical hardware and
software information from various sources. A
utility for servers running
Microsoft Windows NT, Linux, or Novell
NetWare.
If a significant change occurs between data-
gathering intervals, previous information is
marked, and the survey text file is appended to
reflect the latest configuration and changes
since the last configuration. This utility provides
a historical record of change events for server
hardware and software.
Compaq Survey Utility automatically
runs at startup and user-specified time
intervals. Modify the command-line
parameters to change the data-
gathering interval.
For more information on Compaq
Survey Utility, including installation and

Compaq SmartStart
software
Located on the SmartStart CD, the SmartStart
utility is the intelligent way to set up your
Compaq server. The SmartStart CD is used to
load the system software, thereby achieving a
well-integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart
CD contains diagnostic utilities and ROMPaq
tools.
Power up from the SmartStart Software
for Servers CD.
SmartStart Diskette
Builder
Creates a diskette version of the utility from the
SmartStart CD. The support diskettes include
the following:
• Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
• Operating System support
• Server Utilities
• Erase Utility
Use a workstation running Windows
XP, Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows NT, or Windows 2000. You
also need several 1.44-MB diskettes.
Insert the SmartStart CD into the
workstation drive. The CD automatically
runs the Diskette Builder Utility;
however, if the server does not support
the “auto-run” feature, use Windows
Explorer to run CD-ROM DRIVE:
\DSKBLDR\DSKBLDR.EXE.
ROMPaq™ Utility Utility that upgrades the current system ROM. Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the
diskette drive, remove power from the
server, and then power up the server
again.
