Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event

Fans
Clicking the Fans object allows you to manage your system fans. Server Administrator monitors the
status of each system fan by measuring fan rpms. Fan probes report rpms to the Server Administrator
Instrumentation Service. When you select Fans from the device tree, details appear in the data area in
the right-hand pane of the Server Administrator home page. The Fans object action window can have
the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.
Properties

Under the Properties tab, you can:
• View the current readings for your system's fan probes and configure minimum and maximum values
for fan probe warning threshold.
NOTE: Some fan probe fields differ according to the type of firmware your system has: BMC or ESM.
Some threshold values are not editable on BMC-based systems.
• Select fan control options.
