Users Guide

The temperature probes monitor the temperature of the enclosure. Each temperature probe has a warning and a failure
threshold. The warning threshold indicates that the enclosure is approaching an unacceptably warm or cool temperature. You
can modify the warning threshold.
The failure threshold indicates that the temperature of the enclosure has gone below the minimum threshold or exceeded the
maximum threshold which may cause data loss. You cannot change the default values for the failure threshold.
Checking The Temperature Of The Enclosure
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
To check the temperature:
1. In the Server Administrator window, under the system tree, click Storage dashboard.
2. Expand the tree view until the Temperatures object is displayed.
3. Select the Temperatures object. The temperature reported by the temperature probe is displayed in celsius in the Reading

text box label indicates the range that you can specify.
5. Click Apply Changes.
To return to the default values, Reset to default values and click Apply Changes. The default values are displayed in the
Minimum Warning Threshold and Maximum Warning Threshold text boxes.
NOTE:
On some enclosures, Storage Management may experience a short delay before displaying the current enclosure
temperature and temperature probe status.
