Temperature / system monitoring
Temperature and system monitoring aim to reliably protect the computer
hardware against damage caused by overheating. In addition, any unnecessary
noise is also prevented by reducing the fan speed, and information is provided
about the system status.
The temperature and system monitoring are controlled by the iRMC S2
controller (integrated Remote Management Controller).
The following functions are supported:
Temperature monitoring
Measurement of the processor temperature, measurement of the ambient
temperature by a temperature sensor. Measurement of the memory module
temperature by a temperature sensor on the depending memory module.
Fan monitoring
Fans that are no longer available, blocked or stuck fans are detected.
Fan control
The fans are controlled according to the temperature.
Sensor monitoring
The removal of, or a fault in, a temperature sensor is detected. Should this
happen all fans monitored by this sensor run at maximum speed, to achieve the
greatest possible protection of the hardware.
Voltage monitoring
When voltage exceeds warning level high or falls below warning level low, an
entry in the SEL will be generated. If the corresponding agents are installed,
also an alert will be generated.
System Event Log (SEL)
All monitored events of the system board are signalized via the Global Error
LED and recorded in the System Event Log. The events can be retrieved in the
BIOS Setup or via the ServerView Operations Manager.
