Introducing the Drive Protection System
The Compaq Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the
internal hard drive. DPS is designed to help diagnose problems that might
result in unwarranted hard drive replacement.
When Compaq personal computers are built, each installed hard drive is
tested using DPS and a permanent record of key information is written onto
the drive. Each time DPS is run, test results are written to the hard drive. Your
service provider can use this information to help diagnose conditions that
caused you to run the DPS software. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for
instructions on using DPS.
Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring
Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring monitors the integrity of data as it is
transferred between an Ultra ATA hard drive and the system's core logic. If
the Personal Computer detects an abnormal number of transmission errors,
the Personal Computer displays a Local Alert message with recommended
actions. An alert is also sent over the network to the system administrator.
Surge-Tolerant Power Supply
An integrated surge-tolerant power supply provides greater reliability when
the Personal Computer is hit with an unpredictable power surge. This power
supply is rated to withstand a power surge of up to 2000 volts without
incurring any system downtime or data loss.
