Contents of the HP Startup CD-ROM
The following is a list of items contained on the HP Startup CD-ROM:
•
NOS Drivers (IDE, SCSI, NIC, Video) for all supported NOSs on the HP
Server tc2100 (IDE and SCSI models).
•
DiagTools Utility
•
BIOS Phlash Utility
•
HP Server tc2100 Installation and Service Guides (Installation Guide, NOS
Installation Guide, and Service Guide) in .pdf file format.
NOS Installation
The instructions for manually installing your specific network operating system
(NOS) and the respective NOS drivers are provided in the
HP Server tc2100 NOS
Installation Guide
. The NOS Installation Guide will help you when creating and
copying the appropriate drivers (NOS, IDE, SCSI, NIC, and Video) onto the
required diskettes. In some cases you will use the diskettes to load the appropriate
drivers onto the Server, or load the drivers directly from the Startup CD-ROM
onto the Server. Refer to the Welcome menu on the Startup CD-ROM.
DiagTools
This utility provides an easy-to-use hardware diagnostic for Server verification,
burn-in, and rapid troubleshooting. It is launched from the CD-ROM when the
Startup CD-ROM is used to boot the server in DOS.
NOTE
HP recommends using the HP DiagTools Utility to verify all
Server functions are operating correctly, after completing all
the configuration topics. The HP DiagTools Utility also
generates a text file containing the hardware detected and the
DiagTools test results. This text file, called a support ticket,
should be saved to a diskette and used for future reference,
especially by your support provider.
The HP DiagTools Utility will start automatically when the HP
Startup CD-ROM is booted in the HP Server in DOS.
