INTEL® SERVER MANAGER 8.40 SERVER GUIDE FOR WINDOWS
Storage devices
Use Storage to view information about storage devices on a server, such as hard drives, tape
drives, media changers, DAT drives, SCSI enclosures, and RAID devices.
Devices are listed by SCSI controller type. You can view the status of individual devices under a
SCSI type, and for some device types you can view individual components (for example, for a
device with multiple slots, you can view the status of each slot in more detail).
Device information can include safety-related physical sensor readings for items such as fans,
temperature, power supplies, alarms, and doors (open or closed).
RAID arrays are treated as one device but the status page contains information about individual
drives. If one drive fails or is removed, the RAID array shows failed; it then can be rebuilt as a
new RAID array
Events such as disk failure generate pop-up alert windows with details that identify the device,
controller, and channel for quick identification of the device.
Note: IDE and SATA drives which are run on add-in controller cards will appear as SCSI devices.
To view storage device information
• Click System, then click Storage devices.
Temperatures
Use Temperatures to monitor the temperature of vital components in your system. The data
comes from the location of the temperature sensor inside the computer. The data is represented
numerically and visually with a thermometer image. The columns of data are as follows:
• Name—The name of the component being monitored.
• Maximum—The maximum temperature the component can have before its performance
is compromised (as determined by the manufacturer).
• Last—The temperature reading of the component taken from the last background scan. If
this column has a substantially different value than the Current column, there may be a
sudden change in the computer's health.
• Current—The current temperature of the component. If this column shows a value of
zero, the computer is out of band (IPMI servers only).
To view temperature information
1. Click System, then click Temperatures.
2. Click the component for which you want more detailed information.
Note: Temperature information is not updated dynamically. You can update it by refreshing the
browser window view or by clicking Temperatures.
To change temperature thresholds
1. Click System, then click Temperatures.
2. Click the component for which you want to change thresholds.
