Asset Management; Fault Management - Compaq Armada 4200 Reference Manual

Asset Management

AssetControl is asset management software designed to cut the
time and cost of conducting a physical inventory of personal
computers, key components, and monitors. AssetControl is
preinstalled on portable computers, key components, and monitors
that support the Video Electronics Standards Association Data
Display Channel (VESA DDC) and Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) standards.
AssetControl features make it easy and inexpensive to maintain an
accurate, up-to-date inventory. Detailed inventory information,
including manufacturer, model, serial number, asset tag, and ROM
revision level can be viewed, printed, or saved electronically using
Compaq Insight Personal Edition.
Compaq Insight Personal Edition refers to Intelligent
Manageability software that diagnoses portable computer
hardware, monitors the internal system temperature and hard
drive, and then displays a prefailure warning message on detecting
a system temperature or hard drive fault.

Fault Management

Fault management is a utility designed to help prevent the loss of
critical data using the following features:
IntelliSafe hard drive—Constantly monitors hard drive
activity to predict failures before they occur.
Temperature sensing—Hardware and software that tracks the
internal temperature of the computer and displays a warning
message when the normal range is exceeded.
Compaq Insight Personal Edition displays a popup message to
notify you when a hard drive or system temperature fault is
detected. If the computer is connected to a network, asset
information can also be seen by using Compaq Insight Manager.
