Chassis
Use this window to view information about your components and to perform alert
management on certain components by configuring warning thresholds and alert actions.
For the purposes of Server Administrator, "Chassis" refers to:
- A stand-alone system chassis (non-modular) that contains all of the system's essential hardware and
software components. This type of chassis by itself is called a Main
System Chassis.
- A system that has one or more External Chassis refers to a system with network-attached
storage systems in a separate chassis. For information on this type of system, see "External Chassis."
 |
NOTE: Main System Chassis is
applicable for non-modular systems and Main System for modular systems. |
This section contains information on Main System Chassis/Main System
User
Privileges (top level view), User Privileges Required for
Main System Chassis/Main System
Tasks, and Main System Chassis/Main System Health.

Main System Chassis/Main System Health
Use this window to see a summary view of health for the critical components of the
Main
System
Chassis/Main System. For more information on component health and status, see "Event Type Definitions and Component Health."
Severities
Events are assigned a severity. Normal severity means that the device is working as
expected. Normal severity is indicated by a green checkmark (
). Warning severity means that a probe or other monitoring tool has
detected a reading for a component that falls below a user-specifiable minimum value for
the component, or that Server Administrator has detected a reading that exceeds the
maximum warning value for the component. Warning severity is indicated by an exclamation
point inside of a yellow triangle (
). Critical/failure severity is indicated by a red X (
). If a severity icon does not appear next to
the component name, the health status of the component is unknown.

Component Status Display
When you select Main System Chassis/Main System in the system tree and click the Health
tab, the status for the following Main System Chassis/Main System components is displayed:
Batteries |
Batteries maintain the time and
date when your system is turned off. More importantly, the battery saves the
system's BIOS setup configuration, which allows the system to efficiently
reboot. Batteries provides information about your system's installed
batteries. |
Fans |
Fans used to cool chassis components can have a Normal/OK,
Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure status. Fan probes measure
revolutions per minute. |
Hardware Log |
The Hardware Log displays either the ESM
log or the System Event Log. These logs list all events related to your system's
hardware components. |
Intrusion |
Intrusion detects the chassis cover being
opened. For an intrusion event, a normal severity is defined as no chassis
intrusion. |
Memory |
Memory prefailure and critical/failure
severities help administrators to decide how rapidly to schedule memory module
replacement. Memory errors do not require administrators to execute a system shutdown, but
indicate a need to schedule replacement of modules to protect data integrity. |
Power Supplies |
Status for power supplies reports whether the
system has redundant power supplies, maximum wattage for each power supply, and whether
the power supplies in the system are online or not. |
Processors |
Processor is the logic circuitry
that compares, copies, and computes data in response to instructions. Status
of the processor can be Normal (OK), Noncritical, or
Critical. Processors provides details such as manufacturer,
family, version, current speed, external clock speed and so on. |
Temperatures |
Temperature probes monitor temperatures at
different places within the chassis. Temperature warning and critical/failure events alert
administrators to take corrective action and preserve main chassis components from damage. |
Voltages |
Voltage probes monitor voltages at different
places within the chassis. Voltage warning and critical/failure events alert
administrators to take corrective action when voltage readings at any probe location
either fall below, or exceed, minimum and maximum voltage warning or critical/failure
thresholds. |
Power
Monitoring |
Power
consumption probes monitor the power consumed by the system. Power
consumption warning and critical/failure events alert administrators to take
corrective action when power consumption readings at any probe location
exceed the warning thresholds. |
