Intelligent Manageability
Understanding Intelligent Manageability
Intelligent Manageability comprises software tools that can help
you and/or your Network Administrator track, troubleshoot,
protect, and maintain the hardware and software in your network.
The Intelligent Manageability application is included with the
notebook in the
QuickRestore
kit
on the
Application Recovery
CD
included with the notebook.
Intelligent Manageability uses such tools as Compaq
Management Agent, Compaq Diagnostics, and System Software
Manager to facilitate:
■
Asset Management, which provides detailed configuration
and diagnostic information.
■
Fault Management, which prevents, predicts, and alerts to
impending hardware problems.
■
Security Management, which protects against unauthorized
access to your work, system information, and components.
■
Configuration Management, which provides the latest
drivers, utilities, and other software. Web Agent, for example,
enables you and your Network Administrator to view
notebook configuration information using Web technology.
For information about using Compaq Diagnostics, see the “Setup
and Diagnostics Utilities” chapter. Information about other
Intelligent Manageability features used primarily by network
administrators is available on the Compaq Web site at
