❏
Enable or disable a system speaker
❏
Scan the flash memory area for binaries that extend or alter critical
event logging
This section does not list the sensors that will be displayed for configuring,
because the list depends on information provided by the system at run-time.
The information is placed in the system during manufacturing and assembly
and depends on the particular configuration of the system.
However, the user interface should be constant when viewed on a sensor-by-
sensor basis. The screen gives prompts for how to select and modify values
and how to move around the screen. For each available sensor control, the
display includes the choices shown below, with blanks for entering values by
using the <+> or <-> keys (“+5 V supply” is shown here as an example):
+5 V supply
Disable / Enable
Upper Fatal:
Upper Warning:
Lower Warning:
Lower Fatal:
In most cases, we recommend leaving the controls Enabled.
However, if you have an operating system that does not handle system
management interrupts, then you might want to disable the controls. When a
control is disabled, the sensor itself is still active and able to give valid readings,
but no system management interrupt will be generated. A server management
utility can collect the readings for information or comparison.
