Note – If you have developed an application that uses the environmental monitoring software to monitor the temperature sensors, you may want to adjust your application’s settings accordingly.
OpenBoot PROM Environmental Monitoring
This section describes the OpenBoot PROM environmental monitoring of the CPU.
Warning Temperature Response at OpenBoot PROM
When the CPU diode temperature reaches warning temperature, a similar message is displayed at the ok prompt at a regular interval:
Temperature sensor #2 has threshold event of
<<<WARNING!!! Upper
The current threshold setting is : 110
The current temperature is : 111
Critical Temperature Response at OpenBoot PROM
When the CPU diode temperature reaches critical temperature, a similar message is displayed at the ok prompt at a regular interval:
Temperature sensor #2 has threshold event of
<<<ALERT!!! Upper Critical - going high >>>
The current threshold setting is : 118
The current temperature is : 119
