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.

The Security Management utilities customize system security.
Power-On and Setup Passwords—
prevent unauthorized
access to your information and computer configuration.
DriveLock—

access.
Device disabling—
prevents unauthorized data transfer
through modems, serial ports, parallel ports, and infrared ports
on the computer.
