Sensors

Hardware sensors or probes help you to monitor the systems on your network in a more efficient way by enabling you to take appropriate actions to prevent disasters, such as system instability or damage.

You can use the iDRAC6 to monitor hardware sensors for batteries, fan probes, chassis intrusion, power supplies, power consumed, temperature, and voltages.

Battery Probes

The Battery probes provide information about the system board CMOS and storage RAM on motherboard (ROMB) batteries.

NOTE: The Storage ROMB battery settings are available only if the system has a ROMB.

Fan Probes

The fan probe sensor provides information on:

•fan redundancy — the ability of the secondary fan to replace the primary fan if the primary fan fails to dissipate heat at a pre-set speed.

•fan probe list — provides information on the fan speed for all fans in the system.

Chassis Intrusion Probes

The chassis intrusion probes provides status of the chassis, whether chassis is open or closed.
