■The 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.

■The battery fault alert reports battery pack failure.

■The monitor alert reports that an error message from an optional external monitor with Intelligent Manageability features has been received. Monitors with these features include the Compaq P70 and Compaq P50 color monitors.

■The memory alert issues a report when a memory board is removed, added, or reconfigured. The report includes both the previous and current configurations.
