Critical alerts

 

Critical alerts are generated for events that signal that the server is no

 

longer functioning.

Temperature irregularity

Generates an alert if any of the monitored temperatures are outside

 

 

critical threshold values. Select Temperature Tables in the Temperature,

 

 

Voltage and Fan window to view the threshold values. If a critical

 

 

temperature condition is detected, the server automatically shuts down

 

 

and turns off.

 

 

 

01

Voltage irregularity

Generates an alert if the voltages of any of the monitored power supplies

 

 

fall outside their specified operational ranges. Select Voltage Tables in

 

 

the Temperature, Voltage and Fan window to view the threshold values.

 

 

If a critical voltage condition is detected, the server automatically shuts

 

 

down and turns off.

 

 

 

02

Tampering

Generates an alert if physical intrusion of the server box is detected.

 

 

Tamper monitoring is not available on some servers, in which case this

 

 

setting is ignored.

 

 

 

03

Multiple fan failure

Generates an alert if two or more of the cooling fans in the server fail.

 

 

 

04

Power failure

Generates an alert if any of the server power supplies fail.

 

 

 

05

Hard disk drive failure

Generates an alert if one or more of the hard disk drives in the server

 

 

fail.

 

 

 

06

VRM failure

Generates an alert if one or more voltage regulator modules (VRMs) fail.

 

 

VRMs are not used on some servers, in which case this setting is

 

 

ignored.

Warning alerts

 

Warning alerts are generated for events that might progress to a

 

critical/error level.

Single fan failure

Generates an alert if one fan fails.

 

 

 

12

Temperature irregularity

Generates an alert if any monitored temperatures are outside the

 

 

warning threshold values. Select Temperature Tables in the

 

 

Temperature, Voltage and Fan window to view the threshold values.

 

 

Unlike the critical temperature event, this event will not initiate system

 

 

shutdown.

 

 

 

13

Voltage irregularity

Generates an alert if any monitored voltages are outside the warning

 

 

threshold values. Select Voltage Tables in the Temperature, Voltage and

 

 

Fan window to view the threshold values. Unlike the critical voltage

 

 

event, this event will not initiate an automatic system shutdown.

Reserved for future use.

 

 

 

Note: Hard disk drive Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) alerts are not monitored.
