Subtab: Remote Access Users
Under the Users tab, you can modify the remote access user configuration. You can add, configure, and
view information about Remote Access Service users.
Slots
Clicking the Slots object allows you 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 the Properties tab.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about each slot and installed adapter.
Temperatures
Clicking the Temperatures object allows you to manage your system temperature in order to prevent
thermal damage to your 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 can have the following tabs, depending on the user's
group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.
Properties
Subtab: Temperature Probes
Under the Properties tab, you can view the current readings and status for 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: 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.
