Computer Diagnostic Features
The Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent captures hardware
configuration and provides the ability to perform tests remotely to
diagnose computer problems. In addition, the Compaq Remote
Diagnostics Enabling Agent identifies any computer hardware device
problems signaled by the Compaq DMI management agents. These
hardware devices are automatically selected for testing by the
Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent.
Use of Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent reduces the time
and effort needed to perform hardware diagnostic tasks. By allowing
the service personnel direct access to computer hardware diagnostic
tools, the Compaq Remote Diagnostics Enabling Agent delivers a
view of the computer hardware devices and the tests available to
isolate hardware problems with the ease and simplicity of a single
tool. This approach minimizes problem resolution time, and also
minimizes administration resources because less time is spent visiting
a site or communicating with a user over the phone to resolve
computer hardware problems when they do occur.
