Time Window Description Interval

1M 1 month 1 day

3M 3 months 1 week

1Y 1 year 2 weeks

NOTE: This table lists the interval when the sampling interval is at the default value (1 minute).

Changing the sample interval results in interval changes for the 15Min and 1H time windows. If you

change the sampling interval to 3 minutes, the interval of the 15Min time window is 3 minutes. If you

change the sampling interval to 6 minutes, the interval of the 15Min time window is 3 minutes and

the interval of the 1H time window is 6 minutes.

Temperature Details for a Different Time Window

Click the arrows < > to view the details for the previous/next sampling time, or click the double arrows <<

>> to view the details for the previous/next page of results for the current time window. You can click

Average, Maximum, or Minimum to display the selected value.

• Average: The average value from the previous time point to the current time point.

• Maximum: The maximum value from the previous time point to the current time point.

• Minimum: The minimum value from the previous time point to the current time point.

For example, you view temperature details in the 1H (1 hour) window and the maximum value at 15:00

shows 40°C and the time interval is 6 minutes. This value would represent that the maximum

temperature from 14:54 to 15:00 is 40°C.

Chassis Details

The Chassis Details table appears when you select a chassis on the Devices screen. Chassis Details lists

all blade servers within the chassis and their temperature details in a table, including:

• Device: Device name.

• Average: The average value of the latest sampling interval.

• Maximum: The maximum value of the latest sampling interval.

• Minimum: The minimum value of the latest sampling interval.

NOTE: You can set the time interval (the period from a time point to the next time point) in the

Settings > General page. For information on configuring the interval, see Monitoring Settings.

NOTE: The Average, Maximum, or Minimum field displays NA if no data is available—for example,

when the blade server is an Unsupported device.
