Voltage Probes Information |

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 |
(Blank) |
|
Unknown |
Voltage Probe Fields
Some voltage 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/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. |
Managing Voltage Probes
For information on how to set warning thresholds for voltage probes, see "Edit Voltage Probes."
For information on how to set alert actions for voltage probes, see "Set Alert Actions."
