Compaq Insight Manager

Using the industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol found in Microsoft Windows NT, Compaq Insight Manager allows the system administrator to view AssetControl data, configuration data, memory change alerts, NIC performance data, and contact information from a remote location.

Compaq Insight Manager also provides the following features to help you support the Compaq Professional Workstation AP500:

■Remote alerts for Pentium Pro, Pentium II and Pentium III processor prefailure, ECC DIMM memory single-bit error prefailure, and SCSI disk drive prefailure notification

■Alerts logged to the local Windows NT Event Log (logged by the Insight Manager)

■Asset and configuration information collected in a database and accessed by the Insight Manager console for remote tracking of workstation assets and configurations

■Print configuration (similar to INSPECT) reports at the Insight Manager console for remote workstations

■Setting performance thresholds on a workstation; you can receive an alert when a threshold is exceeded (such as PCI bus utilization threshold or disk volume usage threshold).

■Remote warm and/or cold reboot of a workstation

■Version Control to view versions of Compaq drivers, and system ROM currently running on a remote workstation; you can receive a recommendation on updates available from Compaq.

■Alpha pager forwarding to provide workstation alerts to an alpha or numeric pager

■Ability to view health logs on remote workstations to see previous Power-On Self Test (POST) errors, critical errors, and ECC memory errors

■Environment alerts for workstations with a temperature out of the normal range; you can also be alerted when the hood is removed.

■Out-of-band management through a modem using point-to-point protocol (PPP) for workstations not connected to a network
