   Dell Host Health

   Component health is a graphical representation of the status of all major host server components: Server Global status, Server, Power supply, Temperature, Voltages, Processors, Batteries, Intrusion, Hardware log, Power management, Power and Memory. The chassis health parameters are applicable for models VRTX version 1.0 and later, M1000e version 4.4 and later. For versions less than 4.3 only two health indicators are displayed, namely Healthy and Warning or Critical (Inverted triangle with an exclamatory mark in orange color). The overall health indicates the health based on the chassis with the least health parameter. The options include: Healthy (green check mark)—component operating normally Warning (yellow triangle with exclamation point)—component has a noncritical error. Critical (red X)—component has a critical failure. Unknown (question mark)—status is unknown for the component.

   For example, if there are five healthy signs and one warning sign, the overall health is shown as warning.
