Understanding and Using Intelligent Manageability
Monitor Fault Diagnosis
Certain new Compaq monitors detect when the operating
temperature of the monitor exceeds the normal range or when a
hardware fault occurs. Hardware faults may include the
following:
Power voltage out of range
Power current out of range
Horizontal deflection
Vertical deflection
I/O controller operation failure
If the monitor detects one of these conditions, the computer will
send an alert over the network to the system administrator.
Proactive Backup
Proactive Backup software is an optional feature and initiates a
tape or PD-CD backup upon receiving notice of an impending
SMART hard drive failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate
Backup Exec tape backup software on the server, or with
Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive.
Together with the Insight Management Agents, this software
offers a Proactive Backup solution. For instructions on
configuring the Backup Exec SMART Client, contact your
systems administrator or refer to the Seagate Backup Exec
documentation.
Cheyenne Software, Inc. has also created an agent to support the
Proactive Backup solution. The SMART Drive Agent is the
component that recognizes and reacts to the SMART II hard
drive fault alerts. This agent is an extension to the Microsoft
Windows 95 tape backup agent for the standalone application,
ARCsolo for Windows. This agent works with the SMART II
hard drive to ensure that critical data will be protected in the
event of a hard drive failure.
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 and certified to withstand a
