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.

" Power-On and Setup Passwords —prevent unauthorized access to information and
computer configuration.

station.
