ServerUtilities
HP Server tc4100 Utilities takes you to a menu where you can directly execute utilities such as the following:
•
Diagtools:
An easy-to-use hardware diagnostic for system verification, burn-in, and rapid troubleshooting.
•
Event Log Report Utility
: Displays all logged HP Server tc4100 management events, Power-On Self Test
(POST) errors and other system events (only if the HP Server Remote Management Card is installed).
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.
