NTELLIGENT
Intelligent Manageability is software that combines innovative
hardware technology with PC LAN management tools to make
Compaq computers easier to inventory, troubleshoot, and protect.
The lowercase i in the notification area on the taskbar indicates
that Intelligent Manageability is installed on the computer.
Fault Management, Asset Management, and Security Management
are features within Intelligent Manageability.
Insight Manager is included with Intelligent Manageability
software installed on Compaq servers. It provides monitoring,
remote maintenance, and asset management of network resources.
Insight Personal Edition provides similar capabilities to
personal computers.
Fault Management
Fault Management is a monitoring and notification utility that
helps prevent data loss. It includes two primary detection
functions:
IntelliSafe hard drive constantly monitors hard drive activity
to predict failures before they occur.
Temperature sensing hardware and software track the
internal temperature of the computer and display a warning
message when the normal range is exceeded.
When a hard drive fault or system temperature fault is detected, a
fault notice appears in a popup window. If the computer is
connected to a network that is using Insight Manager, the fault
notice can also be seen by the network administrator.
