Use this window to view the status and values for temperature probes located in your external chassis. If your external chassis contains temperature probes that can be configured, you can also use this window to modify temperature warning thresholds.

The page shows a list of temperature probes. For each probe in the system, the following fields are defined:
Status | Displays whether the event type for the probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure. |
Probe Name | Displays the alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies a temperature probe; for example, Chassis Backplane. |
Reading | Displays a snapshot of temperature captured by the probe in degrees Celsius measured by the probe at a given time. |
Minimum Warning Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable temperature 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 that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in warning events. |
Minimum Failure Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable temperature 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 that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in critical/failure events. |
To configure values for a particular temperature probe, click the underlined name of the probe. A configuration dialog appears, stating the name of the probe you are configuring. You can configure the following three values for a temperature probe. If you select default, you cannot configure the other two values.
Threshold Settings | Select the radio button for either Set to Default or Set to Values. If you click Set to Default, the default warning thresholds will be in effect for this temperature probe. If you select Set to Values, you can enter a number for the minimum and maximum warning threshold temperature. |
Minimum Warning Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this temperature result in a warning event. |
Maximum Warning Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this temperature result in a warning event. |
When you have finished configuring temperature probe threshold values, click Apply Changes if you want your changes to this page to be saved. To return to the Temperature Probes Information window, click Go Back to Temperature Probes Page.
