pioneered by Compaq and originally called IntelliSafe, that allows you to prevent data loss and minimize downtime, in concert with Compaq Management Agents. 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 Troubleshooting for instructions on using DPS. 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. 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 or RIMMs with ECC DIMMs or ECC RIMMs. Desktop Management Guide 19
