Shutdown
Subtabs: Remote Shutdown | Thermal Shutdown | Web Server Shutdown
Under the Shutdown tab, you can:
• Configure the operating system shutdown and remote shutdown options.
• Set the thermal shutdown severity level to shut down your system in the 
event that a temperature sensor returns a warning or failure value. 
  NOTE: A thermal shutdown occurs only when the temperature reported by 
the sensor goes above the temperature threshold. A thermal shutdown does 
not occur when the temperature reported by the sensor goes below the 
temperature threshold. 
• Shut down the DSM SA Connection Service (Web server). 
  NOTE: Server Administrator is still available using the command line 
interface (CLI) when the DSM SA Connection Service is shut down. The 
CLI functions do not require the DSM SA Connection Service to be running. 
NOTE: The DSM SA Connection Service starts automatically after a reboot, so you 
must shut down the DSM SA Connection Service every time a system starts up.
Logs
Subtabs: Hardware | Alert | Command
Under the Logs tab, you can:
• View the Embedded System Management (ESM) log or the System Event 
Log (SEL) for a list of all events related to your system's hardware 
components. The status indicator icon next to the log name will change 
from normal status ( ) to noncritical status( ) when the log file 
reaches 80 percent capacity. On Dell™ PowerEdge™ 
x8xx
 and 
x9xx 
systems, 
the status indicator icon next to the log name will change to critical status 
( ) when the log file reaches 100 percent capacity.
  NOTE: It is recommended that you clear the hardware log when it reaches 
80 percent capacity. If the log is allowed to reach 100 percent capacity, the 
latest events are discarded from the log.
