6.1.7
"Voltages" Group
The "Voltages" group indicates the status of the existing voltage sensors (device-dependent).
The voltage of a backup battery (CMOS), a redundant power supply (device-dependent) or an
uninterruptible power supply (device-dependent) can be monitored.
The backup battery voltage is monitored to establish whether it is ok, critical or faulty.
Note
Backup battery (CMOS)
Replace the backup battery immediately if the sensor indicates a critical or faulty status.
Redundant power supply monitoring checks that both power inputs are enabled and the
power supply unit fan is operating.
With an uninterruptible power supply, monitoring checks whether the current input is active.
Note
Alarms
If the voltage falls below the indicated minimum value, the sensor status will indicate this.
See Display of Alarms (Page 22)
6.1.8
"Hard disk" Group
The "Hard Disk" group indicates the status of the existing hard disks (device-dependent). The
following hard disks are supported:
•
SATA hard disks
•
CompactFlash cards
•
CFast cards
•
SAS hard disks
•
USB hard disks or USB sticks
•
Hard disks for an INTEL RAID adapter or Adaptec RAID adapter
The properties for each drive indicate if the drive is S.M.A.R.T. capable and/or a RAID drive. If
this is the case, then the drive symbol is displayed actively with a symbolic LED. The type,
serial number, and firmware version of the drive is displayed in the respective text box.
Alarms
If a drive reports a SMART or RAID error, the status of the drive changes (see Display of Alarms
(Page 22)).
