Server Administrator Change Management MIB
The Server Administrator Change Management MIB (filename dellcm.mib) provides management data that allows you to monitor
the inventory of devices and applications with SNMP management applications.
The following table describes each Server Administrator Change Management MIB group and lists the MIB group number assigned
to the MIB group. The Server Administrator Change Management MIB groups are identified by the SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.<MIB
group number> where <MIB group number> is the MIB group number assigned to the MIB group. See the relevant section for more
information about the MIB objects defined in a MIB group.

Basic Terminology
It is important to have a good understanding of the key technical terms used in this guide. This guide provides definitions for all
essential terms used in describing the Server Administrator MIBs. For definitions on all essential terms and acronyms, see the
Glossary available on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.
Frequently Used Terms in Variable Names
The following terms are frequently used in the name of a MIB variable:
Capability refers to the actions an object can perform, or to actions that can be taken by the object. Hot-pluggable is an example of
a capability. If a card is hot-pluggable, it can be replaced while a system is running. Capability settings refer to the capabilities of the
object that the user can select from and activate if desired. Capability settings allow users of the server administrator to
predetermine how an object behaves under specific conditions.
Settings are the conditions of a manageable object that determine what happens when a certain value is detected in a component.
For example, a user can set the upper critical threshold of a temperature probe to 75 degrees Celsius. If the probe reaches that
temperature, the setting causes an alert to be sent to the management console. Some settings, when reached, can trigger a system
shutdown or other response to prevent damage to the system.
State refers to the condition of an object that has more than one condition. For example, an object may be in a not ready or in an
enabled state.
Status refers to the health of an object or how the object is functioning. For example, the status of a temperature probe that is
measuring acceptable temperatures would be reported as normal. When the probe begins reading temperatures that exceed limits
set by the user, it reports a critical status.
