The following information about the system board is displayed. The type of information displayed may vary depending on the device type.
Product Name displays the type of device or client PC.
System ROM Version identifies the current system ROM version by date. This information may help you track the configuration of the device or client and may be useful for diagnosing service problems. If your system is a ProLiant computer, other information such as the Family Code and Type Code is given.
Redundant ROM Version identifies the backup system ROM version by date. This field will not be shown if a Redundant ROM is not available.
Remote ROM-based Diagnostics displays the date of the current Remote ROM-based Diagnostics for this device. This field shows NA if Remote ROM-based Diagnostics are not present.
Hours in Service displays the number of hours the operating system has been running on this device since the operating system software was installed.
Serial Number displays the serial number of the device or client system board. Use this number for identification and registration purposes. N/A appears if you do not have a device or client that supports the asset management feature. Use the System Configuration Utility (or the appropriate utility for your device or client) to enter a system serial number if one does not appear and you have a device or client that supports the asset management feature.
Bus Type identifies the device or client bus type as EISA, EISA/PCI, or non-EISA.
Board Rev displays the system board revision number.
The following information about each processor in the system is available in this window. This information may vary depending on device type.
Processor lists the type of processor and its speed. For devices, the colored ball indicates the status of each processor.
Co-processor displays the type and speed of the coprocessor on the device or client PC, such as 80387 at 33 MHz, or W 3167 at 33 MHz.
Slot lists the number of the slot where the processor is installed. Use this information for identification purposes.
Slot 0 indicates that a CPU or a memory module is connected directly to the system board and not in an expansion board.
Socket displays the currently selected processor’s socket. Use this information for identification purposes.
Cache displays the amount of device or client hardware cache available. For example, Cache L2: 64KB indicates 64 KB of secondary level cache between the processor and system memory.
Action indicates what action, if any, should be taken for the currently selected processor. Possible values include No Action Needed, and Replace CPU.
Step displays the revision level of the processor.
NOTE: Contact your Compaq/HP authorized reseller or Hewlett Packard Corporation regarding Pre-Failure Warranty to see if the module is under warranty.
Device memory information is also listed.
Base Memory [KB] identifies the maximum amount of memory below the 1-megabyte boundary that MS-DOS can access directly. For example, 640 KB is a possible value for this field.
Total Memory [KB] is the total amount of memory available on the device or client PC, such as 8192 KB.
Correctable Memory - Memory errors are corrected by the Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory subsystem when they occur. The Correctable Memory field displays the status of the Correctable Memory as one of the following.
Logging - ECC memory correction is supported and error logging is enabled.
Disabled - ECC memory correction is supported, but errors are not logged for this device.
When a certain rate of errors is exceeded the health driver automatically disables logging of these errors, and sends an alarm. The errors are corrected, but are no longer logged. Logging is re-enabled when the driver is reloaded or the operating system restarts.
Not Supported - Logging of correctable memory errors is not available for this device. Either the device does not support ECC memory or the driver is not loaded.
Unknown - You may need to upgrade the driver software and/or Server Agents. The Server Agent cannot determine the status of the devices.
This section displays the following information about the Advanced Memory Protection Sub-system.
Advanced Memory Protection Type Active—displays the currently active type of Advanced Memory Protection based on the types available. The following connection states are supported:
Other —The Management Agent cannot determine the Advanced Memory Protection fault tolerance. You may need to upgrade your software.
None —This system is not configured for Advanced Memory fault tolerance.
OnLine Spare Memory — A single spare bank of memory is set-aside at boot time. If enough ECC errors occur, the spare memory will be activated and the memory experiencing the errors will be disabled.
Mirrored Memory —This system is configured for Mirrored Memory Protection. All memory banks are duplicated in Mirrored Memory, as opposed to only one for OnLine Spare Memory. If enough ECC errors occur, the spare memory will be activated and the memory experiencing the errors will be disabled.
Advanced Memory Protection Status—displays status of the Advanced Memory Protection sub-system. The following states are supported:
Other—The system does not support Advanced Memory Protection or the Management Agent cannot determine the status.
Not Protected—This system supports Advanced Memory Protection but the feature is disabled.
Protected— The system supports Advanced Memory Protection. The feature is enabled but not engaged.
Degraded—The system was protected, but the Advanced Memory Protection has been engaged; therefore Advanced Memory Protection is no longer available.
Advanced Memory Protection Condition—displays the current condition of the Advanced Memory Protection subsystem. The following states are supported:
Other—The system does not support fault tolerant memory or the Management Agent cannot determine the state.
Ok—This system is operating normally.
Degraded— The Advanced Memory Protection sub-system has been engaged. Schedule server down time to replace the deactivated memory.
This section displays the following information about ROM Microcode Patches.
Patch ID displays the number of a particular microcode patch.
Date displays the date of a patch's manufacture.
Family specifies the valid family, model, and step that applies to a patch.
Model displays the model number of a patch.
Step displays the revision level of a patch.
This section displays information about the following I/O devices.
Keyboard Type describes the keyboard attached to your monitored system. For example, 101-key Enhanced Keyboard.
Video Type describes the type of video in use with the monitored system. For example, EGA or VGA may appear here.
Auxiliary Input indicates whether the auxiliary input (pointing device or mouse port) is enabled or disabled. If you have an EISA-based machine, use the System Configuration Utility to change this value. If you have an ISA-based machine, use SETUP to change this value.
This section lists and describes the device diskette drives.
This section displays the serial ports and the parallel ports that have been enabled for this unit, along with their corresponding I/O addresses.
The industry-standard addresses for parallel ports are as follows:
