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.
If the computer is connected to a network managed by HP Client 
Manager, the computer sends a fault notice to the network 
management application. With HP Client Manager Software, you can 
also remotely schedule diagnostics to automatically run on all 
managed PCs and create a summary report of failed tests.
Drive Protection System
The Drive Protection System (DPS) is a diagnostic tool built into the 
hard drives installed in select HP computers. DPS is designed to help 
diagnose problems that might result in unwarranted hard drive 
replacement. 
When HP 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. 
The service provider can use this information to help diagnose 
conditions that caused you to run the DPS software. Refer to the 
Troubleshooting Guide on the Documentation CD for instructions on 
using DPS.
