SMART II hard drives are compliant with the Small Form Factor Committee Specification for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) Version II. SMART is the industry standard technology, pioneered by Compaq and originally called IntelliSafe, that allows you to prevent data loss and minimize downtime, in concert with Compaq Insight Management Agents. Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring Ultra ATA Integrity Monitoring monitors the integrity of data as it is transferred between an Ultra ATA hard drive and the system's core logic. If the computer detects an abnormal number of transmission errors, the screen displays a Local Alert message with recommended actions. An alert is also sent over the network to the system administrator.  To use this feature on Compaq Deskpro 6000 Series personal computers, you must replace the standard Ultra SCSI hard drive with an Ultra ATA hard drive. This feature is standard on Compaq Deskpro 4000 Series personal computers. ECC Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty When the computer encounters an excessive number of error checking and correcting (ECC) memory errors, the screen displays a Local Alert message. This message contains detailed information about the errant memory module, allowing you to take action before you experience non-correctable memory errors. Run the Diagnostics Long RAM Test to validate ECC memory errors. For more information about using Compaq Diagnostics, refer to chapter 8, "Using Compaq Utilities." The Prefailure Warranty for ECC memory modules allows you to replace these modules, free of charge, before the modules actually fail. ECC memory modules are optional on most Compaq Deskpro personal computers.  To use this feature on Compaq Deskpro 4000 Series personal computers, you must replace the standard DIMMs with ECC DIMMs. This feature is standard on Compaq Deskpro 6000 Series personal computers.
