Some NICs feature Alerting Capabilities, which allows a system
administrator to remotely monitor the computer over the network.
The computer can send hardware and operating system alerts over the
network before the operating system is loaded, while the operating
system is loaded, while the computer is in low power states, and when
the computer is powered off. Depending on the NIC model, these
alerts may include:
■
System BIOS hang
■
Operating system hang
■
Processor missing
■
Operating temperature exceeded
■
Chassis intrusion
■
Watchdog
■
Heartbeat monitoring
NIC-Based Alerts are enabled by installing the Alert on LAN agents
from Intel. These are available at
