Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 7.4 User's Guide

Click the Memory object to manage your system's memory devices. Server Administrator monitors the memory device status for each memory module present in the monitored system. Memory device prefailure sensors monitor memory modules by counting the number of ECC memory corrections. Server Administrator also monitors memory redundancy information if your system supports this feature. The Memory object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.

Properties

Subtab: Memory

Under the Properties tab, you can view the memory redundancy status, memory array attributes, total capacity of the memory arrays, details of memory arrays, memory device details, and memory device status. The memory device details provides the details of a memory device on a connector such as the status, device name, size, type, speed, rank, and failures. A rank is a row of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices comprising 64 bits of data per Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM). The possible values of rank are single, dual, quad, octal, and hexa. The rank displays the rank of the DIMM and helps in the easy service of DIMMs on the server.

Alert Management

Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps

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 memory module returns a warning or failure value.
• View the current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for memory modules. The selected traps are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
