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.
A 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.
NOTE:
A battery charging problem alert is reported only on the
computer display.
When the computer is not connected to a network, the user receives
a local alert.
To set alerts, select the Intelligent Manageability icon in the system
tray.
