Understanding and Using Intelligent Manageability
Russian- and Polish-based systems do not include the
following Compaq-supplied drivers and utilities:
Compaq Insight Personal Edition
Insight Management agents
Compaq online

Fault Management
Fault Management 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 Compaq Insight Personal Edition. If the computer is
connected to a network managed by Compaq Insight Manager
or other SNMP-based management products (e.g., HP
OpenView or IBM Tivoli TME10 NetView), the computer also
sends a fault notice to the network management application.
SMART II Hard Drive Fault Prediction
The SMART II hard drive monitors hard drive activity to predict
failures before they occur. Fault prediction and failure indication
parameters, such as abnormal variations in spinup and seek
times, or non-correctable read and write errors, are tracked to
determine the hard drive condition. Should these errors become
significant, the computer displays a warning message. The
warning gives you time to back up the hard drive and replace it
prior to experiencing downtime or loss of data. The Prefailure
Warranty for SMART II hard drives allows you to replace these
drives, free of charge, before the drives fail.
