Voltage

A system's components are rated for a specific operating voltage. Voltage probes are placed on different components within the system to ensure adequate voltage and to prevent damage that can result from excessive voltage.

The Voltage Probes window displays information about the following:

Status

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

OK
Noncritical
Critical/Failure
Unknown (Blank)

Voltage Probe Fields

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