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.

NOTE:

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

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

The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage

controllers and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or conditions
that may require attention. ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD or downloaded from the HP
website (

tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP SIM provides device management capabilities
that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and third-party devices.

IMPORTANT:

You must install and use HP SIM to benefit from the Pre-Failure Warranty for

processors, SAS and SCSI hard drives, and memory modules.
