Installing An Expansion Card; Removing An Expansion Card - Dell PowerEdge 4300 Installation And Troubleshooting Manual

The Dell OpenManage Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) server management
application monitors critical system voltages and temperatures, the system cooling
fans, and the status of the SCSI hard-disk drives in the computer. The application gen-
erates alert messages that appear in the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) trap log file. See Chapter 3, "Messages and Codes," for a listing of these
alert messages. (More information about the Alert Log window and options is pro-
vided in the Dell OpenManage HIP online help and the HP OpenView NNM SE x.x
With Dell OpenManage HIP x.x User's Guide. )
