Fault Notification and Recovery
Fault Notification and Recovery features combine innovative hardware and
software technology to prevent the loss of critical data and minimize
unplanned downtime.
When a fault occurs, the Personal Computer displays a Local Alert message
containing a description of the fault and any recommended actions. You can
then view current system health by using the Compaq Management Agent. If
the Personal Computer is connected to a network managed by Compaq
Insight Manager LC, Compaq Insight Manager or other management products
from Compaq Management Solutions Partners, the Personal Computer also
sends a fault notice to the network management application.
Celeron and Pentium III Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty
When the processor encounters an excessive number of error checking and
correcting (ECC) cache memory errors, the Personal Computer displays a
Local Alert message. This message contains detailed information about the
faulty processor, allowing you to take action before you experience
non-correctable cache memory errors. The Prefailure Warranty allows you to
replace these processors, free of charge, before they actually fail.
SMART Hard Drive Fault Prediction
✎
SMART hard drive fault prediction and Prefailure Warranty apply only to internal hard drives, not
to MultiBay drives.
The SMART hard drive monitors hard drive activity to predict failures and, in
some cases, fix faults before failures occur. Fault prediction and failure
indication parameters, such as abnormal variations in spinup and seek times,
or non-correctable read and write errors, are tracked to determine the hard
drive condition. Should these errors become significant, the Personal
Computer displays a warning message. The warning gives you time to back
up the hard drive and replace it prior to experiencing downtime or loss of data.
The Prefailure Warranty for SMART hard drives allows you to replace these
drives, free of charge, before the drives fail.
SMART hard drives are compliant with the Small Form Factor Committee
Specification for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(SMART). SMART is the industry standard technology, pioneered by
Compaq and originally called IntelliSafe, that allows you to prevent data loss
and minimize downtime, in concert with Compaq Management Agents.
