Off-line Maintenance Utility

Off-line Maintenance Utility is an OS-independent maintenance program that performs preventive maintenance and error analysis for your server. See Chapter 6 or the online help for details.

System Diagnostics

Executes several tests on the main system to examine the features of the system and the connections between the system and extension boards. If the system diagnosis is executed, the system check program is started depending on the system status. See the description in Chapter 6 to manipulate the system check program

Create Support Disk

In the support disk creation procedure, the starting support disk for starting a utility within the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER from a floppy disk and the support disk required in the installation of the operating system can be created. If you write down the titles appearing on the screen on the floppy disk labels, they can be easily managed later.

The customer should prepare the floppy disks for creating the support disks.
