Network Communications NIC-Based Alerts Some NICs feature Alerting Capabilities, which allow a system administrator to monitor the computer over the network remotely. The computer can send hardware and operating system alerts over the network before the operating system is loaded, while the operating system is loaded, while the computer is in low power states, and when the computer is powered off. Depending on the NIC model, these alerts can be monitored in the following states: ■ System BIOS hang-On action ■ Operating system hang-On action ■ Processor missing-On power up ■ Operating temperature exceeded-On action ■ Chassis intrusion-On power up/or on action if system is running ■ Watchdog-On action (same as Operating system hang) ■ Heartbeat monitoring-Always ✎ NICs featuring Alerting Capabilities comply with Alert Standard Format (ASF) specification 2.0 and support Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) based alerts. ASF 1.0 implementations will not support RMCP due to lack of security in the ASF 1.0 specification. NIC-Based Alerts are enabled and configured by installing the ASF 2.0 agents for the NIC you are using. These are available at www.hp.com. ASF alerts can also be enabled and configured using the Common Information Model (CIM). Network & Internet Communications Guide www.hp.com 1-3
