25.1UI power and temperature monitoring

Data Centers screenData Centers screen provides a 3D visualization of your

 

hardware environment, and uses a color-coded system to

 

display temperature data for your hardware.

Utilization power and temperature statistics are displayed on the Utilization panel and via utilization graphs in the Utilization view on the Enclosures, Interconnects (utilization graphs only), Power Delivery Devices, and Server Hardware screens.

25.1.1 Monitoring data center temperature

The Data Centers resource provides a visualization of the racks in your data center and displays their peak temperature using a color-coded system. To enable this, you must first specify the physical positions of your racks and the position of the components in them using the Data Centers resource.

You can use temperature visualization to identify over-cooled areas of your data center. You can close vent tiles in areas that have low peak temperatures to increase airflow to areas that have insufficient cooling. If the entire data center is over-cooled, you can raise the temperature to save on cooling costs.
