If there is a specific temperature, for example "50", next to the component, then the ambient temperature of the
complete PPC800 system cannot exceed this temperature.
2.1.2 Minimum ambient temperatures
For systems containing one of the following components, the minimum ambient temperature is +5°C:
5AC801.DVDS-00, 5AC801.DVRS-00. If none of these components are used, then the minimum ambient temper-
ature is 0°C.
2.1.3 Temperature monitoring
Sensors monitor temperature values at various places in the PPC800 (board I/O, board ETH2, board power, power
supply, slide-in drive 1, IF slot). The location of these temperature sensors is illustrated in "Temperature sensor
locations" on page 31. The value listed in the table represents the defined maximum temperature for this mea-
surement point. An alarm is not triggered if this temperature is exceeded. The temperatures
1)
can be read in BIOS
(Advanced - Baseboard/Panel features - Baseboard monitor) or in approved Microsoft Windows operating systems
using the B&R Control Center.
In addition, the hard disks for PPC800 systems available from B&R are equipped with S.M.A.R.T, or Self-Monitoring,
Analysis, and Reporting Technology. This makes it possible to read various parameters, e.g. temperature, using
software (such as HDD Thermometer, a freeware program) on approved Microsoft operating systems (except
Windows CE).
2.1.4 Temperature sensor positions
Sensors monitor temperature values at many different locations in the PPC800. These temperatures can be read
in BIOS (Advanced - Baseboard/Panel features - Baseboard monitor) or in approved Microsoft operating systems
using the B&R Control Center

.
For applications that don't use Windows, the temperatures can be evaluated using the B&R implementation guide.
In addition to the implementation guide, there are also programs available in MS-DOS.
