External Chassis Properties
Use the external chassis Properties tab to review health status information for one or more fans, power supplies, and temperature probes that may be present in your network-attached storage external chassis.
For more information on health status for fans, power supplies, and temperature probes in external chassis, see the following:
  • External Chassis Fan Probes Information
  • External Chassis Power Supplies Information
  • External Chassis Temperature Probes Information
When you select Fan, Power Supply, or Temperature from the external chassis, both the Properties tab and the Alert Management tab become visible. To manage the alert actions or to configure SNMP properties for a specific external chassis component, select that component from the external chassis named in the system tree, and then select the Alert Management tab.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of the VMware® ESXi operating system, the Setting Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
