for HP servers. Available for
systems running Microsoft
Windows NT, Windows 2000,
Novell NetWare, or Linux
operating systems. The
Resource Paqs include utilities
to monitor performance,
software drivers, customer
support information, and
whitepapers on the latest server

and then follow the Resource Paq link.
SoftPaqs, including
ROMPaq tools
Software utilities (such as
diagnostics and configuration
utilities), software upgrades,
ROMPaqs (firmware upgrades),
and fixes that resolve software
problems or provide
workarounds.
Access the following website:
www.compaq.com/support/files/server
Using the drop-down menus, search
for SoftPaqs and ROMPaqs by server
type or category.
For more information on ROMPaq
tools, refer to your server-specific user
documentation.
SmartStart
A software package that
provides a streamlined process
for the installation of operating
systems and other key system
software, such as drivers,
utilities, diagnostic tools, and
ROMPaqs. SmartStart also
provides automated methods for
configuring your server settings.
If SmartStart is supported by your
server, access SmartStart by booting
the server with the SmartStart CD in
the CD-ROM drive. The CD ships with
32-bit servers.
For more information on SmartStart,
refer to the SmartStart user
documentation as well as the following
website:
www.hp.com/servers/smartstart
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to use SmartStart on a 64-bit system. Doing so can corrupt the
system, possibly requiring a complete reinstallation of system software.
