Intelligent Manageability - Compaq DESKPRO 2000 SERIES Maintenance & Service Manual

7.6 Intelligent Manageability

Intelligent Manageability combines innovative hardware technology with PC LAN management tools
from Compaq and other leading vendors to make Compaq Deskpro computers easier to inventory,
troubleshoot, and protect. Intelligent Manageability features focus on Asset Management, Fault
Management, and Security Management.
For non-Windows environments, AssetControl, Fault Management, and Security Management
features are available through the View System Information (INSPECT) utility at computer startup.
The Deskpro 2000 Series of Personal Computers has integrated desktop management features,
including AssetControl and Fault Management.
By running Compaq Diagnostics or Diagnostics for Windows and selecting the AssetControl icon, you
can view information about the computer such as monitor serial number and monitor timing, system
and hard drive serial numbers, as well as other features. This information is useful for identifying
internal components and for setting up and maintaining inventory lists, especially over network
installations.
To access the monitor information file, your computer must be connected to
a monitor that has AssetControl capabilities.
Fault Management is the monitoring of two critical subsystems, the IntelliSafe hard drive and thermal
status. If the status of either of these subsystems degrades, Diagnostics will reflect the change. This
information is useful for early failure detection and troubleshooting.
In most cases, the software required to take full advantage of the computer's Intelligent Manageability
features has been pre-installed. However, should you need to install the software from a diskette:
1. Insert the Compaq Insight Management Agents for Microsoft Windows 95 setup
diskette into drive A.
2. Run A:\SETUP.EXE.
3. If the computer is connected to a network managed by Compaq Insight Manager,
configure the computer for Insight Manager.
4. Restart the computer.
You must restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
