Temperatures
Clicking the Temperatures object allows you 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 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.
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 in the event
that a temperature probe returns a warning or failure value.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for temperature probes.
The selected traps will be triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected
severity level.
NOTE: Users can set minimum and maximum temperature probe threshold values for an external chassis to whole
numbers only. If users 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
Clicking the Voltages object allows you 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.
Properties
Subtab: Voltage Probes
Under the Properties tab, you can view the current readings and status for your system's voltage probes
and configure minimum and maximum values for voltage probe warning threshold.
NOTE: Some voltage 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.
