Compaq E500S, V300 manual Fault Management Alerts, Security Management

Fault Management Alerts

Alerts can be enabled, disabled, and tested, and software can be set to back up information whenever a hard drive alert occurs.

■While the computer is connected to a network, alerts pop up on the computer display and are simultaneously reported to the network console.

■A 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.

NOTE: A battery charging problem alert is reported only on the computer display.

■When the computer is not connected to a network, the user receives a local alert.

■To set alerts, select the Intelligent Manageability icon in the system tray.
