Intelligent Manageability
Intelligent Manageability combines innovative hardware technology
with Enterprise Management and PC LAN management solutions
from Compaq and other leading vendors to make Compaq portable
computers easier to inventory, troubleshoot, and protect.
If the Intelligent Manageability software is not preinstalled on your
computer, contact your Compaq authorized dealer or reseller, or call
Compaq Customer Support at the number listed in the Preface of this
guide.
Asset Management
AssetControl is asset management software designed to cut the time
and cost of conducting a physical inventory of personal computers,
key components, and monitors. AssetControl is preinstalled on
portable computers, key components, and monitors that support the
Video Electronics Standards Association Data Display Channel
(VESA DDC) and Extended Display Identification Data (EDID)
standards.
AssetControl features make it easy and inexpensive to maintain an
accurate, up-to-date inventory. Detailed inventory information,
including manufacturer, model, serial number, asset tag, and ROM
revision level can be viewed, printed, or saved electronically using
Compaq Insight Personal Edition.
Compaq Insight Personal Edition refers to Intelligent Manageability
software that diagnoses portable computer hardware, monitors the
internal system temperature and IntelliSafe hard drive, and then
displays a prefailure warning message on detecting a system
temperature or hard drive fault.
Fault Management
Fault Management is a utility designed to help prevent the loss of
critical data using the following features:
■ IntelliSafe hard drive—Constantly monitors hard drive activity
to predict failures before they occur.
■ Temperature sensing—Hardware and software that tracks the
internal temperature of the computer and displays a warning
message when the normal range is exceeded.
