Monitor alert— diagnoses and displays external monitor operational problems.

Memory alert— reports memory board configuration changes when a memory board is removed, added, or reconfigured. It also provides the previous and current configurations for comparison.

The alerts work with or without network connection. Of course, if your computer is not connected to the network, your network administrator cannot receive alerts from your computer until you reconnect to the network. When an alert occurs while the computer is disconnected from the network, your network administrator will receive the alert as soon as you reconnect to the network.

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.

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

When the computer is disconnected from the network, the user will receive a local alert.

To set alerts, double-click the Intelligent Manageability icon in the system tray.
