HP MaxiLife Utility

HP MaxiLife is a hardware monitoring chip which is resident on the system
board. This chip receives data about the various system components via a
dedicated I
error state (for example, there is a CPU failure), it displays a warning with a
flashing LED and message on its LCD that specifies which component has
the problem.
Due to HP MaxiLife's system independent design, even if there is a serious
component failure, it remains in operation and is able to indicate what the
problem is via the LCD.
For the HP MaxiLife to work correctly, the PC Workstation must always be
connected to a grounded outlet. This enables the PC Workstation's
hardware monitoring chip to be active, even if the system has been powered
off.
The following diagram shows where the LCD is located on the HP Kayak
XA-s, XU Series 0301 and 0303, and XW Series U3 and W3 PC Workstations.
