NOTE: Enabling/disabling IPv4/IPv6 is possible only in a dual stack environment (where both the IPv4 and IPv6 stacks
are loaded).

Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about the Removable Flash Media and Internal SD Modules. This includes details
about the Connector Name, its state, and storage size.
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 when the removable ash media
probe returns a warning or failure value.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for removable ash media probes. The selected traps
are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Alert management is common for Internal SD modules and vFlash. Conguring alert actions/SNMP/PEF for either the SD modules
or vFlash automatically congures it for the other.

expansion cards. The Slots object action window has a Properties tab.

Temperatures
Click the Temperatures object to manage your system temperature in order to prevent thermal damage to your system’s internal

temperatures inside the chassis do not become too high.
The Temperatures object action window displays the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert
Management.
Subtab: Temperature Probes
Under the Properties tab, you can view the current readings and status of your system's temperature probes and congure
minimum and maximum values for temperature probe warning threshold.
NOTE: Some temperature probe elds dier according to the type of rmware your system has such as 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

Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View the current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a temperature
