25.1 UI power and temperature monitoring
Data Centers screen Data Centers screen provides a 3D visualization of your
hardware environment, and uses a color-coded system to
display temperature data for your hardware.
The Utilization panel and Utilization
graphs
Utilization power and temperature statistics are displayed
on the Utilization panel and via utilization graphs in the
Utilization view on the Enclosures, Interconnects (utilization
graphs only), Power Delivery Devices, and Server Hardware
screens.
25.1.1 Monitoring data center temperature
The Data Centers resource provides a visualization of the racks in your data center and displays
their peak temperature using a color-coded system. To enable this, you must first specify the physical
positions of your racks and the position of the components in them using the Data Centers resource.
You can use temperature visualization to identify over-cooled areas of your data center. You can
close vent tiles in areas that have low peak temperatures to increase airflow to areas that have
insufficient cooling. If the entire data center is over-cooled, you can raise the temperature to save
on cooling costs.
