Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide
This reference guide provides a formatted version of the Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB
(filename 10892.mib), the Server Administrator Remote Access MIB (filename dcs3rmt.mib), the Server

Management MIB (filename dcstorag.mib), and the Server Administrator Change Management MIB
(filename dellcm.mib) that are released with the current version of Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator.

General Content
Table 1-1 describes the sections that provide general information about the MIBs documented in this guide.
Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB (filename 10892.mib) provides instrumentation data that
allows you to monitor the health of a system with SNMP management applications. It provides:
• Information about the status of temperatures, power supplies, voltages, currents, fans, and memory at
key points in the system
• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by industry standard systems
management agents
• Version information for Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), firmware, and operating system
• A detailed account of every cost of ownership (COO) detail about your system
In addition, traps are sent to report a change in status of the health of critical components.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB structures its MIB objects into groups of scalar objects
or MIB tables that provide related information. Table 1-2 describes each Server Administrator
Instrumentation MIB group and lists the MIB group number assigned to the MIB group.
