Dell iDRAC8 manual Viewing Historical Temperature Data Using Racadm

The collected data is represented in a graphical format to track the 10% and 1% levels. The logged temperature data can be cleared only before shipping from the factory.

An event is generated if the system continues to operate above the normally supported temperature threshold for a specified operational time. If the average temperature over the specified operational time is greater than or equal to the warning level (> = 8%) or the critical level (> = 0.8%), an event is logged in the Lifecycle Log and the corresponding SNMP trap is generated. The events are:

•Warning event when the temperature was greater than the warning threshold for duration of 8% or more in the last 12 months.

•Critical event when the temperature was greater than the warning threshold for duration of 10% or more in the last 12 months.

•Warning event when the temperature was greater than the critical threshold for duration of 0.8% or more in the last 12 months.

•Critical event when the temperature was greater than the critical threshold for duration of 1% or more in the last 12 months.

You can also configure iDRAC to generate additional events. For more information, see the Setting Alert

Recurrence Event section.

Viewing Historical Temperature Data Using iDRAC Web Interface

To view historical temperature data:

1.In the iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview → Server → Power / Thermal → Temperatures. The Temperatures page is displayed.

2.See the System Board Temperature Historical Data section that provides a graphical display of the stored temperature (average and peak values) for the last day, last 30 days, and last year.

For more information, see the iDRAC Online Help.

NOTE: After an iDRAC firmware update or iDRAC reset, some temperature data may not be displayed in the graph.

Viewing Historical Temperature Data Using RACADM

To view historical data using RACADM, use the inlettemphistory subcommand. For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.

Configuring Warning Threshold for Inlet Temperature

You can modify the minimum and maximum warning threshold values for the system board inlet temperature sensor. If reset to default action is performed, the temperature thresholds are set to the default values. You must have Configure user privilege to set the warning threshold values for the inlet temperature sensor.

Configuring Warning Threshold for Inlet Temperature Using Web Interface

To configure warning threshold for inlet temperature:

1.In the iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview → Server → Power/Thermal → Temperatures. The Temperatures page is displayed.

2.In the Temperature Probes section, for the System Board Inlet Temp, enter the minimum and maximum values for the Warning Threshold in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. If you enter the value in
