Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about the Removable Flash Media and Internal SD Modules. This includes
details about the Connector Name, its state, and storage size.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
● View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed when the removable flash media
probe returns a warning or failure value.
● View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for removable flash media probes. The selected
traps are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Alert management is common for Internal SD modules and vFlash. Configuring alert actions/SNMP/PEF for either the SD
modules or vFlash automatically configures it for the other.
Slots
Click the Slots object to manage the connectors or sockets on your system board that accept printed circuit boards, such as
expansion cards. The Slots object action window has a Properties tab.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about each slot and installed adapter.
Temperatures
Click the Temperatures object to manage your system temperature in order to prevent thermal damage to your system’s
internal components. Server Administrator monitors the temperature in a variety of locations in your system's chassis to ensure
that temperatures inside the chassis do not become too high.
The Temperatures object action window displays the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and
Alert Management.
Subtab: Temperature Probes
Under the Properties tab, you can view the current readings and status of your system's temperature probes and configure
minimum and maximum values for temperature probe warning threshold.
NOTE:
Some temperature probe fields differ according to the type of firmware your system has such as BMC or
ESM. Some threshold values are not editable on BMC-based systems. When assigning probe threshold values, Server
Administrator sometimes rounds the minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
● View the current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a
temperature probe returns a warning or failure value.
● View the current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for temperature probes. The selected traps
are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
NOTE:
You can set minimum and maximum temperature probe threshold values for an external chassis to whole numbers
only. If you attempt to set either the minimum or maximum temperature probe threshold value to a number that contains a
decimal, only the whole number before the decimal place is saved as the threshold setting.
Voltages
Click the Voltages object to manage voltage levels in your system. Server Administrator monitors voltages across critical
components in various chassis locations in the monitored system. The Voltages object action window can have the following
tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.
