IBM 300PL Software Manual - Ibm Enhanced Diagnostic
IBM Enhanced Diagnostic
An IBM Enhanced Diagnostic diskette image is provided on the Software
Selections CD. This diagnostic program runs independently of the operating
system. The user interface for running the diagnostics and utility programs
is provided by Watergate Software's PC-Doctor. (This program is separate
from the PC-Doctor plug-in that is part of the Universal Management Agent
Plus program.)
You can use this program to test the hardware (and some software)
components of your computer. This method of testing is generally used
when other methods are not accessible or have not been successful in
isolating a problem suspected to be hardware related. For instructions on
creating and using the Enhanced Diagnostic diskette, see the user guide for
your computer.
Management Software
Your computer comes with either System Management Tools or the
Universal Management Agent Program (UMA). Both Programs are
described in this chapter. Read the section relevant to your program.
UMA is a collection of tools designed to manage computers in a network
environment. The Universal Management Browser launches and manages
each tool from a central interface using ActiveX controls in an Internet or
intranet environment. You can use the tools locally on the computer where
the Universal Management Agent program is installed or remotely by using
the Internet or intranet to access the computer where the Universal
Management Agent program is installed.
IBM Universal Management Agent components
The IBM Universal Management Agent program components include the
following:
System Monitors
contains Events, Alarms, and Responses (EAR); PC
Health; BIOS Error Logging; and the Event Log Viewer. You can use these
programs to monitor computer hardware status, set up automatic responses
to system alerts, schedule events (such as backup operations), and view a
history of errors, alerts, and events.
Resource Utilization

ports, memory, network, system resources, video, battery (mobile computers
