System Memory
I System supports 133-MHz registered SDRAM memory (Synchronous
DRAM).
I Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) memory uses an error-encoding
scheme for memory error detection and correction. Specifically, this
feature detects and corrects single-bit memory errors.
I System is expandable to 4-GB of memory (when available) installed in
dual-inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. Memory can be expanded
one module at a time.

Server Features 1-15
Pre-Failure Warranty
The Compaq ProLiant DL380 server includes a Pre-Failure Warranty for
processors, hard drives, and memory purchased from Compaq through
Compaq authorized resellers. Under the terms of this warranty, supported
components are eligible for replacement before they actually fail provided
that you use Compaq Insight Manager and that the system determines that
the supported components have degraded below predetermined reliability
thresholds within the product warranty period.
Insight Manager Alert
When Insight Manager alerts you that a component may be eligible for
Pre-Failure Warranty replacement, follow the on-screen instructions or contact
a Compaq authorized service provider in your area. A yellow status indicator
on the Insight Manager control panel signals that a component is in a degraded
condition and recommends that you replace the component in a pre-failure
condition.
Server Management and Configuration
Compaq offers an extensive set of features and optional tools to support
effective server management and configuration. These features are described
in this guide:
I Default Configuration
I Compaq SmartStart
I Server Management
I Fault Tolerance
I Compaq Insight Manager
I Compaq System Configuration Utility
I Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
I Compaq Integrated Remote Console
I Compaq Integrated Management Log

Default Configuration
When the system is first started, the system ROM detects the unconfigured
state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most
devices. By providing this initialization, the system can run Diagnostics and
other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and system
configuration programs.
NOTE: If you format and partition your boot drive before running SmartStart and the
system configuration programs, you will not be able to create a system partition or use
the management features that it provides.
As part of the default configuration process, you are prompted for your
intended installation operating system. On subsequent restarts, you may
change your operating system selection if you entered a wrong choice.
An information message indicating that you are running with a default
configuration occurs each time you start the system until you run the System
Configuration program.
Compaq SmartStart
SmartStart, which is located on the SmartStart and Support Software CD, is
the intelligent way to configure your Compaq server with major operating
system software. SmartStart helps you achieve a well-integrated server that
ensures maximum manageability and dependability. For additional
information about configuration, see Chapter 6, "Server Configuration and
Utilities."
Server Management
I The Server Parameter Tracking utility provides timely server
environment and subsystem information by using a combination of
hardware, firmware, and industry-standard management software.
Information provided by this utility includes fault, performance, and
configuration status.
I The Server Fault Tolerance feature provides many fault tolerance
options for disk subsystem and memory system error correction.
I The Rapid Recovery Services provide fast identification and resolution
of complex faults. This integrated server management provides Server
Health Logs, Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2), and Compaq
Integrated Remote Console.

Server Features 1-17
I Integrated Management Log (IML) provides a detailed log of key
system events. This log is accessible through Compaq Insight Manager
and the Remote Insight Board.
Disk Management
Disk management allows the server to recover from a hard drive problem
without interrupting the server's performance. The SCSI Managed Array
Technology (Smart) controller delivers the following functions:
I RAID 0 no fault tolerance
I RAID 0+1 drive mirroring and striping
I RAID 1 drive mirroring
I RAID 5 distributed data guarding
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is used to perform the following functions:
I Send fault condition alerts to a predetermined destination
I Monitor fault conditions and server performance
I Control server security and configuration
I Remotely control servers
I Initiate rapid recovery services
With Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem--including disk storage,
system memory, and system processor--has a robust set of management
capabilities. Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault Management prevents faults before
they happen, keeps the system running in the unlikely event of a failure, and
delivers rapid server recovery to normal operation after a fault. See Chapter 6,
"Server Configuration and Utilities," for more information.
Compaq System Configuration Utility
The Compaq System Configuration Utility performs a wide range of
configuration activities including:
I Configures PCI boards automatically
I Provides switch and jumper settings

I Resolves resource conflicts in areas such as memory, processor
upgrades, and mass storage devices such as hard drives, tape drives, and
diskette drives
I Sets and stores power-on features such as date and time
I Stores the operating system's configuration information
I Assists in the installation of the operating system
I Assists in running diagnostic tools such as TEST and INSPECT utilities
The first time the server is configured, the SmartStart program automatically
creates a system partition and installs the System Configuration Utility.
For more information refer to the SmartStart documentation and the
Documentation CD shipped with your server.
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)
Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) enables the server to boot
automatically from either the operating system or the Compaq Utilities. If
there is a critical system failure, ASR-2 automatically restarts the server and
pages a designated system administrator.
Compaq Integrated Remote Console
The standard Compaq Integrated Remote Console (IRC) performs a wide
range of configuration activities. The console has the following features:
I Is accessible with an ANSI terminal
I Operates independently of the operating system
I Provides for remote server reboot
I Provides access to system configuration
I Uses out-of-band communication with dedicated external management
modem
For information concerning the standard Integrated Remote Console, refer to
the Integrated Remote Console Guide included on the Documentation CD.

Server Features 1-19
Compaq Remote Insight Board (PCI Option)
The Compaq Remote Insight Board PCI option is a PCI-based, single-board
computer that is installed to provide remote management of a server,
regardless of the state of the host operating system or the host CPU.
A built-in Intel i960 processor and battery backup allows the Remote Insight
module to work independent of the host server operating system. Remote
Insight provides remote access, sends alerts, and performs other functions,
even if the host server operating system is not responding or if the server has
lost power.
NOTE: The Remote Insight Board must be installed in a 32-bit PCI slot (slot 1) to function
properly.
Status LEDs
There are three main groups of LEDs: One on each hot-plug power supply,
two on the RJ-45 connector, and a set of four on the front of the server.
Additional LEDs include those on the hard drives, the CD-ROM drive, and the
1.44-MB diskette drive.
Front Panel Status LEDs
The set of LEDs on the front of the server indicates server status. The

that the server is in the On state. The Off state means that the server is in
Standby mode, the hot-plug power supply has no power, and/or the power
supply has failed.
