| Q: |
What is Compaq Insight Manager and how is it different from Compaq Insight Manager LC and Compaq Insight Manager XE? |
| A: |
Compaq Insight Manager is the world's most widely used server management tool. Its user interface is a full-featured traditional 32-bit Windows-based application, which runs on the management console, and provides extensive system management capabilities for Compaq platforms.
Compaq Insight Manager LC is a new tool for managing PC desktops, workstations, portables and non-Compaq DMI-2 compliant devices. It can manage up to 200 desktops and supports DMI.
Compaq Insight Manager XE leverages the power of the Internet, and adds the capability to monitor non-Compaq systems and clusters. It is more scalable than LC because it manages servers, desktops, and other devices such as hubs and routers.
Compaq Insight Manager, Compaq Insight Manager LC, and Compaq Insight Manager XE are part of the overall Compaq Intelligent Manageability strategy, which makes Compaq servers the best-managed servers in the industry. |

| A: |
Compaq Management Agents are the cornerstones of Compaq Insight Manager and Compaq Insight Manager XE.

Are Compaq Management Agents modular? |
| A: |
Beginning with version 4.30, Compaq Management Agents may be updated in their entirety or as individual components to add new functionality. For example, if the user decided to add a new Storage subsystem to a server, only the Compaq Storage Agent component needs to be updated on the server. This architecture positions Compaq to better address customer needs by delivering new agent functionality independent of hardware releases and expedite hardware releases by adding management support independent of each other. |
