Using Fault Management Alerts

Identifying Fault Management Alerts

The notebook is preset to monitor several hardware components.
If problems are found, the following types of alerts may display:
■
The hard drive alert warns up to 72 hours in advance of
impending hard drive problems and can be set to initiate a
software backup.
■
The system temperature alert prevents critical overheating.
As the system temperature rises, this feature first adjusts fan
and CPU (central processing unit) speed, then displays an
alert, then shuts down the system if necessary.
■
The battery fault alert reports battery pack failure.
■
The memory alert issues a report when a memory board is
removed, added, or reconfigured. The report includes both
the previous and current configurations.

Setting Fault Management Alert Preferences

All alerts can be displayed on the notebook screen. When the
notebook is connected to a network that includes a network
console, all alerts can also be reported to the network console.
Alert preferences are set in the Alert Properties window.
■
To access Alert Properties, select the Management Agent
icon in the taskbar.
