Using Fault Management Alerts
Identifying a Fault Management Alert
The computer is preset to monitor certain hardware
components. If problems are found, the following alerts may
display.
n Hard drive alert—Warns up to 72 hours in advance of
impending hard drive problems; can initiate an optional
software backup.
n System temperature alert—Prevents critical overheating.
As the system temperature rises, this feature first adjusts
fan and CPU (central processing unit) speed, then displays
an alert, then shuts down the system if necessary.
n Battery fault alerts—Report charging problems and
battery pack failure.
n Monitor alert—Diagnoses and displays external monitor
operational problems.
n Memory alert—Reports memory expansion board
configuration changes when a memory expansion board is
removed, added, or reconfigured. The report includes both
the previous and current configurations.
Setting Fault Management Alert Preferences
All alerts can be displayed on-screen whether or not the
computer is connected to the network. When the computer is
connected to the network, all alerts except a battery charge
fault alert are reported to the network console.
Alert preferences are set in the Alert Properties window.
n To access Alert Properties, select the Intelligent
Manageability icon on the taskbar.
n For Help, select the Help button in Alert Properties.
For information about setting alerts in a networked
environment, select Start
