If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous

information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can

be installed through the HP PSP ("

ProLiant Support Packs

" on page

57

).

NOTE:

The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the

server. To download the latest version, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).

ROMPaq disaster recovery

If the current version of the ROM is corrupt, perform ROMPaq disaster recovery procedures:

1.

Create a ROMPaq diskette using the Autorun Menu on the SmartStart CD.

2.

Power down the server (on page

17

).

3.

Insert the ROMPaq diskette.

4.

Power up the server (on page

17

).

a.

The server generates one long beep and two short beeps to indicate that you are in disaster
recovery mode. If the diskette is not in place, the system continues to beep until a valid ROMPaq

diskette is inserted.

b.

The ROMPaq diskette flashes the system ROM image. If successful, a sequence of ascending
audible beeps is generated. If unsuccessful, a sequence of descending audible beeps is

generated and you need to repeat the disaster recovery process.

5.

Power down the server (on page

17

).

6.

Remove the ROMPaq diskette.

7.

Power up the server (on page

17

).
