SMART hard drives are compliant with the Small Form Factor Committee Specification for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART). 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 computer displays a Local Alert message with recommended actions. An alert is also sent over the network to the system administrator. ECC Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty When the computer encounters an excessive number of error checking and correcting (ECC) memory errors, the computer 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. 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 all Compaq personal computers.  To use this feature, you must replace the standard DIMMs with ECC DIMMs. Proactive Backup Proactive Backup software 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. 3-14 Intelligent Manageability
