Advanced System Management
Advanced System Management (ASM) is a feature supported on Dell Precision R7610, T5810 ,T7810, T7910 and later workstations. The
feature displays information about voltage, temperature, current, cooling device, and power supply probes. The feature also allows you to
set the non-critical upper threshold values of voltage, current, cooling, and temperature probes. Contact the support team for information
on system models with this feature.
Setting the non-critical threshold values
NOTE: You can set the critical and non-critical upper threshold values only for voltage, current, cooling and temperature probes.
To set the non-critical threshold values for the probes:

to set the values for Index, and NonCritical Upper Threshold elds for each of the selected probes. Set the value of
Index depending on the number of instances of the probes running on the system. The value of NonCritical Upper
Threshold must be within the critical upper threshold range.
4 To set the non-critical threshold values for a new probe, click Add Probe, and then type the values in the required elds.
5 To set the non-critical threshold value for the listed probes, provide the value in the respective column.
