Fault Management
Fault Management features 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 temperature rises, this feature 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.
