Temperature Probes Information

Use this window to edit minimum and maximum warning thresholds for your system's temperature probes. All temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius.

NOTE: The capabilities for managing sensors vary by system.
NOTE: On servers installed in the PowerEdge FX2 series chassis, when Chassis Management at Server Mode is None, then Server Administrator displays the server temperature sensors (not chassis temperature sensors).

Edit Temperature Probes

NOTE: When assigning probe threshold values, Server Administrator sometimes rounds the minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value.
Status Indicates whether the event type for this probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure.
Reading Displays a snapshot of temperature measured by the probe at a given time.
Minimum Failure Displays the lowest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that falls below this temperature result in critical/failure events.
Maximum Failure Displays the highest acceptable temperature that is required for system operation. Values that exceeds this temperature result in critical/failure events.

Threshold Settings

Set to Default Sets the minimum and maximum temperature value for a warning event at the default value.
NOTE: Systems that contains embedded systems management (ESM3) capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold default values.
Set to Values Allows power users and administrators to specify a minimum and maximum value for temperatures that are to trigger a warning event.
NOTE: For an external chassis, you can set Minimum Warning Threshold and Maximum Warning Threshold values to only whole numbers. If you set the threshold value to a decimal number, only the whole number before the decimal place is saved.
Minimum Warning Threshold Displays the lowest acceptable temperature that is recommended for this system component. Values that falls below this temperature level result in warning events.
Maximum Warning Threshold Displays the highest acceptable temperature that is recommended for this system component. Values that exceeds this temperature result in warning events.
NOTE:  Warning Threshold is not applicable for CPUs.

Set Alert Actions

For information about how to set alert actions for voltage probes, see Set Alert Actions.

NOTE: Due to the limitations of the VMware ESXi operating system, the Setting Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of Server Administrator.
For more information on the other buttons present in the Server Administrator Action pages, see Server Administrator Window Buttons.
