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, PCI or PCI-X.
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.
Core Count displays the number of cores for this processor.
Maximum Threads displays the the maximum number of threads that a cpu core is capable of.
Note: Contact your Compaq/HP authorized re-seller or Hewlett Packard Corporation regarding Pre-Failure Warranty to see if the module is under warranty.
Device memory information is listed below:
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 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.
dimmEcc—The system is protected via DIMM ECC only.
mirrorNoFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the mirrored mode. No DIMM faults have been detected.
mirrorWithFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the mirrored mode. One or more DIMM faults have been detected.
hotSpareNoFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the hot spare mode. No DIMM faults have been detected.
hotSpareWithFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the hot spare mode. One or more DIMM faults have been detected.
xorNoFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the XOR memory mode. No DIMM faults have been detected.
xorWithFaults—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the XOR memory mode. One or more DIMM faults have been detected.
advancedEcc—The system is protected by Advanced Memory Protection in the Advanced ECC mode.
Advanced Memory Protection Types Available—displays the options available.
XOR—This system is configured for Advanced Memory Protection using the XOR engine.
Mirrored memory with dual memory boards—This system is configured for Mirrored Advanced Memory Protection within a dual memory board configuration. The mirrored memory may be swapped with memory on the same memory board or with memory on the second memory board.
Mirrored Memory within a single memory board—This system is configured for Mirrored Advanced Memory Protection within a single memory board.
