Surge-Tolerant Power Supply

Thermal Sensor

Software Updating
and Management
An integrated surge-tolerant power supply provides greater
reliability when the workstation is hit with an unpredictable
power surge. This power supply is rated to withstand a power
surge of up to 2000 volts without incurring any system
downtime or data loss.
The thermal sensor is a hardware and software feature that
tracks the internal temperature of the workstation. This feature
displays a warning message when the normal range is exceeded,
which gives you time to take action before internal components
are damaged or data is lost.
Compaq provides several tools for managing and updating
software on workstations—Insight Manager LC, System
Software Manager, and Remote Management Setup Utilities.
Using Insight Manager LC, you can monitor a workgroup of
workstations from a central console and remotely update the
system software, including flash ROM or hardware device
drivers, for each of the managed workstations individually.
System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility that lets you
update system-level software on multiple systems
simultaneously. When executed on a workstation client system,
SSM detects both hardware and software versions, then updates
the appropriate software from a file store. Support software that
works with SSM is flagged with the PC Lifecycle Management
icon on the Compaq web site and on the Support Software CD.
For more information on SSM, visit the Compaq web site at
