• During the rebuilding operation to restore redundancy between two SD cards present in the IDSDM, the IDSDM status is not
displayed since the IDSDM sensors are powered off.
NOTE: If the host system is rebooted during IDSDM rebuild operation, the iDRAC does not display the IDSDM
information. To resolve this, rebuild IDSDM again or reset the iDRAC.
• System Event Logs (SEL) for a write-protected or corrupt SD card in the IDSDM module are not repeated until they are cleared by
replacing the SD card with a writable or good SD card, respectively.
• Temperature — Provides information about the system board inlet temperature and exhaust temperature (only applies to rack
servers). The temperature probe indicates whether the status of the probe is within the preset warning and critical threshold value.
• Voltage — Indicates the status and reading of the voltage sensors on various system components.
The following table provides information about viewing the sensor information using iDRAC web interface and RACADM. For information
about the properties that are displayed on the web interface, see the iDRAC Online Help.
NOTE: The Hardware Overview page displays data only for sensors present on your system.

Monitoring performance index of CPU, memory,
and input output modules
In Dell’s 14
th
generation Dell PowerEdge servers, Intel ME supports Compute Usage Per Second (CUPS) functionality. The CUPS
functionality provides real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and I/O utilization and system-level utilization index for the system. Intel ME
allows out-of-band (OOB) performance monitoring and does not consume CPU resources. The Intel ME has a system CUPS sensor that
provides computation, memory, and I/O resource utilization values as a CUPS Index. iDRAC monitors this CUPS index for the overall
system utilization and also monitors the instantaneous utilization index of the CPU, Memory, and I/O.
NOTE:
This feature is not supported on PowerEdge R930 servers.
The CPU and chipset have dedicated Resource monitoring Counters (RMC). The data from these RMCs is queried to obtain utilization
information of system resources. The data from RMCs is aggregated by the node manager to measure the cumulative utilization of each
of these system resources that is read from iDRAC using existing intercommunication mechanisms to provide data through out-of-band
management interfaces.
The Intel sensor representation of performance parameters and index values is for complete physical system. Therefore, the performance
data representation on the interfaces is for the complete physical system, even if the system is virtualized and has multiple virtual hosts.
