Owner's Manual

• 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 access the Temperature Details page on a chassis. 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 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.

Monitoring the Temperature of the Chassis/Blade Server

You can monitor the inlet temperature at the blade server level.

You can also monitor the inlet temperature at the chassis level, including average, maximum, and minimum details.

Monitoring the Temperature of Devices/Groups

Power Center supports temperature monitoring of the inlet temperature span for devices and groups. The inlet

temperature span is the average inlet temperature differential between the maximum and minimum temperature reading

for a device in a group (Celsius or Fahrenheit). You can calculate this value according to the maximum and minimum

temperature from the Temperature Details graph.

Temperature Dashboard

1. Click Groups in the left pane.

2. Click the group/device icon.

3. Click Overview.

4. The Dashboard displays.

For devices (Excludes PDU and UPS):

– The left box displays the average temperature status of the latest sampling interval.

– The right box displays the level of the temperature status by comparing it with the temperature thresholds

you set in the Thresholds tab.

For groups:

– The left box shows the aggregated temperature value of the latest sampling interval for the devices with

Monitor temperature capability in the group.
