The Edit Fan Probes window displays information about the following:
Status of each fan in your system
RPM value at the time of the request
Read-only information about minimum and maximum failure thresholds
Choice of setting warning thresholds by default or by value
Status | Determines whether the event type for the probe is Normal (OK), Warning, or Critical/Failure. | |
Reading | Snapshot of the RPM actually measured by the probe at a given time. | |
NOTE: Failure thresholds are read-only values for all users. | ||

Minimum Failure Threshold | The lowest acceptable fan RPM that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this fan RPM result in critical/failure events. | |
Maximum Failure Threshold | The highest acceptable fan RPM that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this fan RPM result in critical/failure events. | |
Threshold Settings | ||
Set to Default | Sets the minimum and maximum fan RPM value for
a warning event at the default value. NOTE: Systems that contain embedded systems management (ESM3) capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold default values. |
|
Set to Values | Allows Power Users and Administrators to specify minimum and maximum values for a fan RPM that will trigger a warning event. | |
Minimum Warning Threshold | The lowest acceptable fan RPM that is recommended for system operation. Values that fall below this RPM level result in warning events. | |
Maximum Warning Threshold | The highest acceptable fan RPM that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this fan RPM result in warning events. |
