Inventory - NEC POWERMATE 5100 Service Manual

For managing workstations, Client Manager sets up a connection to all the
workstations running on the network to allow the administrator to monitor the
functions of each workstation.
The monitoring is in real time so that if an unhealthy workstation is fixed, the
screen can be refreshed to view the new correct PC health. The monitor can also
be set to report only unhealthy workstations.
The PC Health meter is a traffic signal that provides a visual indicator of
workstation health.
T
A red light indicates that a critical system event has occurred. The user is
required to fix the problem immediately.
T
A yellow light or noncritical system event requires that the user monitor
the situation. It may be a problem that could get worse and become a
critical event.
T
A green light indicates everything is working fine with the system.
The description of PC health is determined by monitoring various system
components for threshold levels. Some of the components that are monitored
include:
T
drive space
T
prediction of hard drive failure (Smart Hard Drive failure prediction)
T
free virtual memory
T
temperatures
T
power supplies
T
chassis opened
T
GDI used
T
non-critical boot failure
T
boot virus detection.
Once a threshold level has been passed on a workstation, the user can request
notification of the problem and have it written into a log file.
