Diagnostic information: Diagnostics for Windows includes
information on hard drives, ports, video, sound, and other
components. This application also allows the user to run
multi-threaded tests on hardware components. If problems are
found, recommendations are provided.
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.
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.
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.
The alerts work with or without network connection. If the computer is not
connected to the network, the network administrator cannot receive alerts
from the computer.
Faulty Management Alerts
Alerts can be enabled, disabled, and tested, and software can be set to
back up information whenever a hard drive alert occurs. While the
computer is connected to a network, alerts are displayed and are
simultaneously reported to the network console.
NOTE:
A battery charging problem alert is reported only on the computer
display. When the computer is not connected to a network, the
user will receive a local alert. To set alerts, select the Intelligent
Manageability icon in the system tray.
