Temperature Sensors Information
• Temperature condition—Displays the current temperature condition of the system or client
PC. This value can be:
— OK—The temperature is within normal operating range.
— Degraded—The temperature is above normal for airflow obstructions. Make sure that
the cover is on.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Proper airflow is
possible only when the cover is in place and properly secured.
— Failed—The temperature is outside the normal operating range and could permanently
damage the system. The system automatically shuts down to prevent damage to
hardware or data loss.
NOTE: A Failed condition does not occur in a client PC since the power supply for
the client is cut off if thermal condition reaches a permanently damaging level.
— Unknown— If the Server Agents or the Server Agent cannot determine the status of
the device, you may need to upgrade your driver software. If you are managing a client
with an unknown temperature status, the client may not support thermal detection.
• Sensor—The number that uniquely specifies the temperature sensor description.
• Location—This specifies the location of the temperature sensor present in the system.
• Temperature—This is the current temperature sensor reading in degrees Celsius.
• Threshold—This is the shutdown threshold temperature sensor setting in degrees Celsius.
This is the temperature at which the sensor is considered to be in a failed state causes the
system to be shutdown.
NOTE: Only the Ambient zone type allows setting of the threshold temperature. Not all
(maybe one or none) sensors can set this value.
• Type—This specifies the type of this instance of temperature sensor. This value can be:
— Blowout—If a blowout temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the fan or fans in the
area of the temperature sensor increases in speed in an attempt to reduce the temperature
before a caution or critical threshold is reached.
• Caution—If a caution temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the temperature condition
is set to degraded and the system either continues or shuts down depending on the setting
of the Thermal Degraded Action.
• Critical—If a critical temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the Temperature Condition
is set to failed and the system shuts down.
• Unknown—The Temperature threshold type could not be determined.
Fault Tolerant Fans Information
This section displays an entry for each of the device or system processor fans.
• Fan—The number that uniquely specifies the fault tolerant fan description.
The status of each fan can be the following:
— OK—The fan is operational.
— Degraded—A redundant fan is not operating properly.
