ECC Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty
When the computer encounters an excessive number of error
checking and correcting (ECC) memory errors, the screen
displays a Local Alert message. This message contains detailed
information about the errant memory module, allowing you to
take action before you experience non-correctable memory
errors. The Prefailure Warranty for ECC memory modules
allows you to replace these modules, free of charge, before the
modules actually fail. ECC memory modules are optional on all
Compaq Deskpro personal computers.
✎
To use this feature, you must replace the standard DIMMs
with ECC DIMMs.
Monitor Fault Diagnosis
Certain new Compaq monitors detect when the operating
temperature exceeds the normal range or when a hardware fault
occurs. Hardware faults may include the following:
■
Power voltage out of range
■
Power current out of range
■
Horizontal deflection
■
Vertical deflection
■
I/O controller operation failure
If the monitor detects one of these conditions, the computer will
send an alert over the network to the system administrator.
Proactive Backup
Proactive Backup software initiates a tape or PD-CD backup
upon receiving notice of an impending SMART II hard drive
failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate
Backup Exec tape backup software on the server, or with
Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive.
Together with the Insight Management Agents, this software
offers a Proactive Backup solution. For instructions on
configuring the Backup Exec SMART Client, contact your
systems administrator or refer to the Seagate Backup Exec
documentation.
