Fault Management
The Fault Management utilities minimize downtime and data loss
by monitoring system performance and generating the following
alerts:
■
Hard drive alert—
warns you up to 72 hours in advance of
impending hard drive problems and can automatically start
optional backup software.
■
System temperature alert—
reports overheating. As the
system temperatures rise, this utility 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. Of course, if
your computer is not connected to the network, your network
administrator cannot receive alerts from your computer until you
reconnect to the network. When an alert occurs while the
computer is disconnected from the network, your network
administrator will receive the alert as soon as you reconnect to the
network.
Fault 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 pop up
on the computer display 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 disconnected from the network, the user
will receive a local alert.
To set alerts, double-click the Intelligent Manageability icon in
the system tray.
