SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP5050 PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: N/A TITLE: Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 (Servers) VERSION: 1.26 Rev A LANGUAGE: English CATEGORY: Systems/Drivers PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq ProLiant and ProSignia Servers OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: 17 November 1997 SUPERSEDES: SP4334 DESCRIPTION: This SoftPaq creates two files -- a description file and a self-extracting executable file. The self-extracting executable file contains Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 that supports the following subsystems and features of Compaq Servers: Compaq Integrated Management Display Utility Compaq Recovery Server, Standby Agent with SMART-2 support Compaq Recovery Server, Online Agent with SMART-2 support Compaq Remote Insight Board driver Compaq Remote Insight Board WAN driver Compaq PCI Hot Plug Utility ProLiant Storage System System Management/Health driver NetFlex-3/Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX Embedded UTP/Coax network adapter NetFlex-3/Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX Embedded UTP/Coax network adapter monitoring, configuration, and duplex utility Compaq 10T PCI UTP and 10/100 TX PCI UTP IDA/IDA-2 disk controller SMART/SMART-2 array controller 32-Bit SCSI-2 Family of controllers Compaq Support Software diskette Installation utility Enhancements/Fixes: For details, refer to NTREADME.HLP in the created support files. This version primarily supports the Compaq Dual Channel Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 Controller and the Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U. It has been tested with and supports NT Server Enterprise Edition. Compaq Dual Channel Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 Controller This controller was designed primarily as a complimentary controller for high end tape solutions, like Compaq’s DLT Tape Array II and DLT Libraries; it provides support for the maximum number of devices possible while only taking up a single PCI slot. It delivers exceptional system performance along with two separate SCSI-3 channels. Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U The Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U is Compaq's latest edition to the ProLiant Storage System family. The ProLiant Storage System/U is defined as a disk storage box replacement for the original ProLiant Storage System. The difference between ProLiant Storage System and ProLiant Storage System/U is that this storage box supports SCSI Ultra speeds negotiation and the new Ultra speed disk drives. Compaq System Management Driver (SYSMGMT.SYS) Changed the policy for stopping at the F1 prompt for systems equipped with the Integrated Management Log. These systems will no longer stop at the F1 prompt on the next boot after the system encounters one or more of the following critical errors: - Fan failure - System overheating - Power supply failure - Processor power module failure - Processor failure Systems not equipped with the Integrated Management Log will still stop at the F1 prompt after encountering these errors. Updated the severity of error messages sent to the Windows NT Event Viewer to match the severity of the corresponding error messages sent to the Integrated Management Log. The updated messages are used for reporting: - Fan failure - System overheating - Processor failure - Correctable memory errors - Fan removal - Power supply removal - Power supply failure - AC line problems - Power supply overload Error messages placed in the NT Event Viewer by a previous version of the Compaq System Management driver will not be updated. Corrected reporting of fan failure on the Compaq ProLiant 6500 during the hot-plug fan redundancy check, which is performed once a day. This check involves briefly running the secondary fans, if installed, to ensure that they will operate in the event of the failure of a primary fan. A fan could be improperly reported as failed after the check is complete. Corrected logging of Intelligent Power Supply fan failures. These failures were improperly reported as AC line under-voltage errors. Corrected logging of Intelligent Power Supply overload conditions to report the voltage of the overloaded voltage channel. Corrected logging of the physical PCI slot number after a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) caused by a parity error on the PCI bus. The physical slot number was improperly reported as unknown. Corrected a problem with using the wrong capacity for Intelligent Power Supplies operating from a 220V AC line. The capacity was incorrectly set to 500W, which is appropriate for 110V operation, instead of the proper 750W. As a result, a heavily loaded system operating from a 220V line could be incorrectly reported as having a non-redundant power subsystem. Added an enhancement for the Compaq ProSignia 200, allowing the system to determine which pair of ECC memory modules failed. The new event log message that you may receive is "The Compaq System Management Driver has determined that DIMM pair #1 has exceeded its threshold of correctable errors. Please contact your Compaq service representative." HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files. The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed. You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for the files, or default to the download directory. The following files will be created: README.TXT SRVR.EXE 3. After the files have been created, you may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in step 1. 4. From the directory in which the files are created, execute the self-extracting executable: SRVR.EXE [ENTER] 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to extract (unzip) the support software files to a folder on your hard drive and run the program SETUP.EXE to install the software.
