Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.5 User's Guide

PDF

Temperatures

Click the Temperatures object to manage your system temperature in order to prevent thermal damage to your system’s internal components. Server Administrator monitors the temperature in a variety of locations in your system's chassis to ensure that temperatures inside the chassis do not become too high.

The Temperatures object action window displays the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.

Subtab: Temperature Probes

Under the Properties tab, you can view the current readings and status of your system's temperature probes and configure minimum and maximum values for temperature probe warning threshold.

NOTE: Some temperature probe fields differ according to the type of firmware your system has such as BMC or ESM. Some threshold values are not editable on BMC-based systems. When assigning probe threshold values, Server Administrator sometimes rounds the minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value.

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 temperature probe returns a warning or failure value.
  • View the current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for temperature probes. The selected traps are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
NOTE: You can set minimum and maximum temperature probe threshold values for an external chassis to whole numbers only. If you attempt to set either the minimum or maximum temperature probe threshold value to a number that contains a decimal, only the whole number before the decimal place is saved as the threshold setting.
