Temperature Probes Information
Use this window to edit minimum and maximum warning thresholds for your system's temperature probes. All temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius.
NOTE: The capabilities
for managing sensors vary by system.
NOTE: On servers installed
in the PowerEdge FX2 series chassis, when Chassis Management at Server
Mode is None, then Server Administrator displays the server
temperature sensors (not chassis temperature sensors).
User Privileges

details on user privilege levels, see Privilege Levels In The Server Administrator GUI.
Edit Temperature Probes
NOTE: When assigning
probe threshold values, Server Administrator sometimes rounds the
minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value.
Status | Indicates whether the event type for this probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure. |
---|---|
Reading | Displays a snapshot of temperature measured by the probe at a given time. |
Minimum Failure | Displays the lowest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this temperature result in critical/failure events. |
Maximum Failure | Displays the highest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in critical/failure events. |
Threshold Settings
Set to Default | Sets the minimum and maximum temperature 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
a minimum and maximum value for temperatures that are to trigger a
warning event. NOTE: Set minimum and maximum temperature probe threshold values for an
external chassis to whole numbers only. |
Minimum Warning Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable temperature that is recommended for this system component. Values that fall below this temperature level result in warning events. |
Maximum Warning Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable temperature that is recommended for this system component. Values that exceed this temperature result in warning events. |
Set Alert Actions
For information on how to set alert actions for voltage probes, see Set Alert Actions.
NOTE: Due to
the limitations of the VMware ESXi operating system, the Setting Alert
Actions feature is not available with this release of Server Administrator.
For an explanation of other buttons present on Server Administrator
Action pages, see Server Administrator Window Buttons.
