Fault Management; Security Management - Compaq Armada M700 Series Maintenance And Service Manual

Fault Management

Fault Management features minimize downtime and data loss by monitoring system
performance and generating the following alerts:
Hard drive alert—provides 72-hour advance warning of impending hard drive
"
problems and can automatically start optional backup software. Alerts can be
enabled, disabled, and tested, and software can be set to back up information
whenever a hard drive alert occurs.
System temperature alert—reports overheating. As the system temperature rises,
"
this feature first adjusts fan speed and other cooling components, then displays an
alert, then shuts down the system.
Battery pack alert—reports charging problems and battery pack failure. A battery
"
charging problem alert is reported only on the computer display.
Monitor alert—diagnoses and displays external monitor operational problems.
"
Memory alert—reports memory board configuration changes when a memory board
"
is removed, added, or reconfigured. It also provides the previous and current
configurations for comparison.
While the computer is connected to a network, alerts pop up on the computer display
"
and are simultaneously reported to the network console. If the computer is not
connected to the network, the user will receive a local alert.
To set alerts, select the Intelligent Manageability icon in the system tray.
