Be prepared; order this key before you need one. Cable Lock Provision A physical security device for your computer may also be available, through the cable lock provision. See your Guide to Features & Upgrades for more information on using and installing the cable lock provision. 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 Compaq Insight Personal Edition. If the computer is connected to a network managed by Compaq Insight Manager or other SNMP-based management products from Compaq Management Solutions Partners, the computer also sends a fault notice to the network management application. Processor Fault Prediction and Prefailure Warranty When the processor encounters an excessive number of error checking and correcting (ECC) cache memory errors, the computer displays a Local Alert Message. This message contains detailed information about the faulty processor, allowing you to take action before you experience non-correctable cache memory errors. The Prefailure Warranty allows you to replace these processors, free of charge, before they actually fail. Processors with ECC cache memory are available on select Compaq personal computers.
