IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter, User Manual, Page: 53 / 124

When you click a temperature reading, a window similar to the one in the
following illustration opens.
The Temperature Thresholds page displays the temperature levels at which the
Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM processor reacts. The temperature
threshold values are preset on the remote server and cannot be changed.
The reported temperatures for the CPU, hard disk drive, and system are
measured against the following threshold ranges:
Warning Reset
If a warning was sent and the temperature returns to any value below
the warning reset value, the server or ASM processor assumes the
temperature has returned to normal and no further alerts are generated.
Warning
When the temperature reaches a specified value, a temperature alert is
sent to configured remote alert recipients. You must select the
Temperature check box on the Alerts page for the alert to be sent.
For more information about selecting Alert options, see “Setting remote
alerts” on page 26.
Soft Shutdown
When the temperature reaches a specified value higher than the
warning value (the soft shutdown threshold), a second temperature alert
is sent to configured remote alert recipients and the server begins the
shutdown process with an orderly operating-system shutdown. The
server then turns itself off. You must select the
Temperature check box
on the Alerts page for the alert to be sent.
Hard Shutdown
When the temperature reaches a specified value higher than the soft
shutdown value (the hard shutdown threshold), the server immediately
shuts down and sends an alert to configured remote alert recipients.
You must select the
Temperature check box on the Alerts page for the
alert to be sent.
