components, including memory, disk drives, SCSI controllers, NIC, and
power supply, as well as environmental problems with temperature and
voltage

history of server activity in one place
Predictive disk problem warning backed by HP pre-failure warranty
replacement.
Disk capacity threshold alert and usage tracking
View of critical server inventory information, such as BIOS version,
driver and firmware versions, ISA and PCI slot contents, and serial and
parallel ports
Remote management capabilities enhanced with pcANYWHERE,
providing full remote control of Microsoft Windows NT servers across the
network or over a modem connection
Easy linkage with leading management platforms
Support for DMI 2.0, which provides the same Desktop Management
Interface inventory information for HP NetServers as for desktop PCs
