Desktop Management Guide Fault Notification and Recovery Fault Notification and Recovery features combine innovative hardware and software technology to prevent the loss of critical data and minimize unplanned downtime. When a fault occurs, the computer displays a Local Alert message containing a description of the fault and any recommended actions. You can then view current system health by using the HP Client Manager. If the computer is connected to a network managed by HP Insight Manager, HP Client Manager, or other sytem management applications, the computer also sends a fault notice to the network management application. Drive Protection System The Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the hard drives installed in select HP computers. DPS is designed to help diagnose problems that might result in unwarranted hard drive replacement. When HP computers are built, each installed hard drive is tested using DPS, and a permanent record of key information is written onto the drive. Each time DPS is run, test results are written to the hard drive. Your service provider can use this information to help diagnose conditions that caused you to run the DPS software. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on using DPS. Surge-Tolerant Power Supply An integrated surge-tolerant power supply provides greater reliability when the computer is hit with an unpredictable power surge. This power supply is rated to withstand a power surge of up to 2000 volts without incurring any system downtime or data loss. Thermal Sensor The thermal sensor is a hardware and software feature that tracks the internal temperature of the computer. This feature displays a warning message when the normal range is exceeded, which gives you time to take action before internal components are damaged or data is lost. 34 www.hp.com Desktop Management Guide
