Table 8.2 describes the status icons that may appear in the IPMI Viewer window.
Gauges may also contain color areas at their upper and lower thresholds, as listed in Table 8.3.
In Figure 8.2, the temperature gauge contains threshold values of approximately 5.0-9.25 at its
lower threshold and approximately 43.25-47.5 at its upper threshold.
NOTE: Unsupported numeric sensor thresholds will not appear in the IPMI Viewer window.
E
IPMI Viewer display area: Contains gauges that display numeric readings from the BMC
sensors in the IPMI 1.5 target device. Depending on the sensors on the BMC, any of the
following gauges may appear in the IPMI Viewer window:
Voltage - The voltages in the IPMI 1.5 target device.
Current - The currents in the IPMI 1.5 target device.
Fans - The revolutions per minute (RPM) of each fan in the target device.
Temperature - The temperatures in the IPMI 1.5 target device, in degrees Celsius, including
ambient, planar and riser temperature.
Each gauge contains a status icon to its upper left, see Table 8.2
