Temperatures

A system cannot function well at extreme temperatures. Temperature probes are placed in each chassis to prevent damage to temperature-sensitive components.

The Temperature Probes window displays information about the following:

Status

Temperature probes report temperatures at different locations within a chassis to the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service. Temperature status is one of the following states:

Normal
Warning
Critical/Failure
Unknown (Blank)

Temperature Probe Fields

Status Whether the event type for the probe is Normal, Warning, or Failure.
Probe Name The alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies a temperature probe; for example, CPU 2. 
Reading Snapshot of temperature actually measured by the probe at a given time.
Minimum Warning Threshold The lowest acceptable temperature for this probe that is recommended for system operation. Values that fall below this temperature level result in warning events.
Maximum Warning Threshold The highest acceptable temperature for this probe that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in warning events.
Minimum Failure Threshold The lowest acceptable temperature for this probe that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this fan RPM result in critical/failure events.
Maximum Failure Threshold The highest acceptable temperature for this probe that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in critical/failure events.

Managing Temperature Probes

For information on how to set warning thresholds for temperature probes, see "Edit Temperature Probes."

For information on how to set alert actions for temperature probes, see "Set Alert Actions."
