Thermal Sensor; Security Management - Compaq SP700 Reference Manual

3-6 Intelligent Manageability

Thermal Sensor

The thermal sensor is a hardware and software feature that tracks the internal
temperature of the workstation. This feature displays a warning message when
the normal range is exceeded, which gives you time to take action before
internal components are damaged or data is lost.

Security Management

Your workstation includes security features to protect the workstation and data
from unauthorized access. You can view Security Management features and
current settings by using Compaq Diagnostics for Windows NT (locally),
Compaq Insight Manager (remotely), Remote Management Setup (remotely),
or system management applications from the Compaq Management Solution
Partners.
