Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

• NORMAL – normal temperature ranges
• ALERTED – excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown
• SHUTDOWN – excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs
  

Notifies the Network Administrator and end user when the cover has been removed without authorization through an electronic switch residing inside the computer. Can be set to one-of-three modes:

• DISABLED – user/network administrator does not want to be made aware of the computer hood removal
• NOTIFY USER – notifies user/network administrator that the hood has been removed, but no action required before re-booting the computer
• UP PASSWORD – notifies user/network administrator that the hood has been removed and administrator password is required before the computer will continue to boot
  

• System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.
• Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software, perform security management, or update the ROM.
  

• Allows the system to wake from a low power mode
• Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system
  

A suite of solutions that focus on business needs in four areas, saving time and freeing resources to address other crucial issues:

• Deployment & Migration
  
• Software & Operations Management
  
• Inventory & Asset Management
  
• Help Desk & Problem Resolution

• Repository for storing company-specific property asset numbers for easy tracking
  
• Initially set equal to the system serial number
  
• Stored in a protected section of non-volatile memory that can be accessed and modified with the F10 Setup program

• Identifies system ROM revision levels and reports in ROM-based F10 setup
• Version is stored in an industry standard memory location (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use and report this information
  

• Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board
• Revision level is digitally encoded into the hardware and cannot be modified
  

Security Features

Notifies the Network Administrator and end user when the cover has been removed without authorization through an electronic switch residing inside the computer. Can be set to one-of-three modes:

• DISABLED – user/network administrator does not want to be made aware of the computer hood removal
  
• NOTIFY USER – notifies user/network administrator that the hood has been removed, but no action required before re-booting the computer
  
• UP PASSWORD – notifies user/network administrator that the hood has been removed and administrator password is required before the computer will continue to boot

Fault Notification and Recovery

• Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted
• Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count
• By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
  

• Provides data and system file protection for HP business PCs to enable fast recovery of information that is accidentally deleted or if the system becomes corrupted. Designed for disconnected or seldom-connected users, Local Recovery protects your HP computer's data and system state by taking scheduled snapshots, which are then stored in a protected area on the local hard disk. System backup and disaster recovery is now simple and fast for all users, regardless of connectivity.

Monitors the temperature within the chassis

• NORMAL – normal temperature ranges
  
• ALERTED – excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown
  
• SHUTDOWN – excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs

Provides data transfer verification and proactive notification of hard drive data transmission problems with recommendations for enhancing system performance. It detects all the following errors types:

• single bit errors
  
• double bit errors
  
• an odd number of errors
  
• error bursts up to 32-bits long

System Software Updating

• Program to proactively communicate Product Change Notifications (PCNs) and Customer Advisories by email to customers, based on a user-defined profile.
• PCNs provide advance notification of hardware and software changes to be implemented in the factory providing time to plan for transition.
• Customer Advisories provide concise, effective problem resolution, greatly reducing the need to call technical support
