Advanced System Management
Advanced System Management (ASM) is a feature that is 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 noncritical upper threshold values of voltage, current, cooling, and temperature probes.
Contact the support team for information about 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:
1. Click the required option:
● Create Multiplatform Package
● Create Local System Package
● Open a Saved Package
NOTE: To open a saved package, click Open a Saved Package, browse to the file location, and then click Open.
2. Click Edit, or double-click the option.
3. In the advsm option row, click View/Change in the Value to set column.
The Advanced System Management screen is displayed.
NOTE:
● If you are setting the non-critical threshold values for Create Local System Package, the columns displayed
are: Description, Type, Index, Location, Minimum, Maximum, Critical Upper Threshold, NonCritical Upper
Threshold, and Delete. The system displays the details of the available probes. You cannot edit the Type and Index
fields of the listed probes.
● If you are setting the non-critical threshold values for Create Multiplatform System Package, the columns
displayed are: Type, Index, NonCritical Upper Threshold and Delete. The system does not display any values for
the probes. You have to set the values for Index, and NonCritical Upper Threshold fields 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 fields.
5. To set the non-critical threshold value for the listed probes, provide the value in the respective column.
