T310 CPU temperature on iDRAC6

Question

Anyone out there got a T310 server with an iDRAC card ? I recently took delivery of a T310 and when using the iDRAC card and looking at the Temperatures section the CPU temperature current reading was negative ! I spoke to Dell Technical Support and they asked me to update the server BIOS and DRAC firmware even though this was a brand new server. After the firmware updates the Temperature section in the DRAC only showed the System Temperature, CPU temperature was no longer there ! Does anyone have a CPU temperature indication in the DRAC on a T310 and is it positive ? regards Colin

what you were seeing was the PECI temp. This sensor was not supposed to be monitored, and was probably removed in the firmware update.

It helps me out of the problem, Thanks for your instruction!
