Voltage Probes Information | User, Power User, Administrator | Power User, Administrator |
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 of each voltage probe in the system
- Actual voltage read by the probe at the time of the request; a snapshot of voltage at a particular point in time (Reading)
- Minimum and maximum warning threshold values for voltage probes
Status
Voltage probes report voltages at different locations within a chassis to the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service. Voltage status is one of the following states:
![]() |
Normal/OK |
---|---|
![]() |
Warning/Noncritical |
![]() |
Critical/Nonrecoverable |
![]() |
Unknown |
Voltage Probe Fields
Some voltage probe fields differ according to the type of firmware that your system has: BMC or ESM.
Status | Indicates whether the event type for the probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Failure/Nonrecoverable. |
---|---|
Probe Name | Displays the alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies a voltage probe. For example, Motherboard. |
Reading | Displays a snapshot of voltages measured by the probe at a given time. |
Minimum Warning Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable voltage that is recommended for system operation. Values that fall below this voltage level result in warning events. |
Maximum Warning Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable voltage that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this voltage result in warning events. |
Minimum Failure Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable voltage that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this voltage result in critical/failure events. |
Maximum Failure Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable voltage that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this voltage result in critical/failure events. |
