Chapter 8: Working with IPMI Target Devices 255
Table 8.2 describes the status icons that may appear in the IPMI Viewer window.
Gauges may also contain color areas at their upper and lower thresholds, as listed in Table 8.3.
In Figure 8.2, the temperature gauge contains threshold values of approximately 5.0-9.25 at its
lower threshold and approximately 43.25-47.5 at its upper threshold.
NOTE: Unsupported numeric sensor thresholds will not appear in the IPMI Viewer window.
E
IPMI Viewer display area: Contains gauges that display numeric readings from the BMC sensors in
the IPMI target device. Depending on the sensors on the BMC, any of the following gauges may
appear in the IPMI Viewer window:
Voltage - Voltages in the IPMI target device.
Current - Currents in the IPMI target device.
Fans - Revolutions per minute (RPM) of each fan in the target device.
Temperature - Temperatures in the IPMI target device, in degrees Celsius, including ambient, planar
and riser temperature.
Each gauge contains a status icon to its upper left, see Table 8.2.

Icon Description
(green circle) The current value is within acceptable threshold values.
(gray circle) The current value is unknown.
(yellow exclamation) The current value is in the non-critical area.
(red x) The current value is in the critical area.
(dark red sad face) The current value is in the non-recoverable area.
