Use this window to edit minimum and maximum warning thresholds for your system's current probes.

NOTE: Systems that contain embedded systems management (ESM3) capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold default values. |

Power Users and Administrators can set warning threshold values, but the manufacturer of your system reserves the privilege of setting critical/failure thresholds.

NOTE: When assigning probe threshold values, Server Administrator sometimes rounds the minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value. |
Status | Displays whether the event type for this probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure. |
Probe Name | Displays the alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies a current probe. For example, the probe for Power Supply 1 +12 volts. |
Reading | Displays a snapshot of amperage measured by the probe, in amperes, at a given time. |
Set to Default | Sets the minimum or maximum warning
threshold to the default value recommended by your system's manufacturer. NOTE: The capabilities for managing sensors vary by system. |
Set to Value | Displays the number of amperes for the minimum and maximum current probe warning threshold. |
Min Warning Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable amperage that is recommended for system operation. Values that fall below this amperage result in warning events. |
Max Warning Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable amperage that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this amperage result in warning events. |
Min Failure Threshold | Displays the lowest acceptable amperage that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this amperage result in critical/failure events. |
Max Failure Threshold | Displays the highest acceptable amperage that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this amperage result in critical/failure events. |
