Desktop Management Guide Fingerprint Identification Technology Eliminating the need to enter user passwords, Compaq Fingerprint Identification Technology tightens network security, simplifies the login process, and reduces the costs associated with managing corporate networks. Affordably priced, it isn't just for high-tech, high-security organizations anymore. ✎ Support for Fingerprint Identification Technology varies by model. See www.compaq.com/products/quickspecs/10690_na/10690_na.html for more information. 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 the Compaq Management Agent. If the computer is connected to a network managed by a Compaq Insight Manager product or other management products from Compaq Management Solutions Partners, the computer also sends a fault notice to the network management application. Drive Protection System The Compaq Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the hard drives installed in select Compaq computers. DPS is designed to help diagnose problems that might result in unwarranted hard drive replacement. When Compaq enterprise computers are built, each installed hard drive is tested using DPS, and a permanent record of key information is written onto the drive. Each time DPS is run, test results are written to the hard drive. Your service provider can use this information to help diagnose conditions that caused you to run the DPS software. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on using DPS. Desktop Management Guide 33
