Using Fault Management Alerts

Identifying a Fault Management Alert

The computer is preset to monitor certain hardware components.
If problems are found, the following alerts may display.
Hard drive alert—Warns up to 72 hours in advance of
impending hard drive problems; can be set to initiate a
software backup.
System temperature alert—Prevents critical overheating. As
the system temperature rises, this feature first adjusts fan and
CPU (central processing unit) speed, then displays an alert,
then shuts down the system if necessary.
Battery fault alert—Reports battery pack failure.
Monitor alert—Diagnoses and displays external monitor
operational problems.
Memory alert—Reports memory expansion board
configuration changes when a memory expansion board is
removed, added, or reconfigured. The report includes both the
previous and current configurations.
