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 of each temperature probe in the system
- Temperature read by the probe at the time of the request
- Minimum and maximum warning threshold values for temperature probes

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/OK |
 |
|
Warning/Noncritical |
 |
|
Critical/Nonrecoverable |
(Blank) |
|
Unknown |
Temperature Probe Fields
Some temperature probe fields differ according to the type of firmware that your system
has: BMC or ESM.
 |
NOTE: The fields listed on this page
cover possible configurations. |
 |
NOTE: For some probes, the value for Reading
is Good or Bad rather than an editable, numeric value. |
 |
NOTE: Some threshold values are not
editable on BMC-based systems. |
Status |
Indicates whether the
event type for the probe is Normal, Warning, or Failure. |
Probe Name |
Displays the alphanumeric
text that uniquely identifies a temperature probe; for example, CPU 2. |
Reading |
Displays a snapshot of
temperature measured by the probe at a given time. |
Minimum Warning Threshold |
Displays 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 |
Displays 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 |
Displays the lowest
acceptable temperature for this probe that is required for system operation. Values that
fall below this temperature result in critical/failure events. |
Maximum Failure Threshold |
Displays 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."
