Accessing EVR1500 environmental monitors
An EVR1500 environmental monitor is a network-based appliance that monitors environmental
conditions within the rack and/or data center and reports the data using the DSWebview software’s
browser. Environmental thresholds, such as alarm conditions, can be specified.
If the EVR1500 environmental monitor is attached to a CPS810 appliance or CPS1610 appliance, it
can be remotely powered up, powered down or rebooted using an SPC power control device. See
Rebooting and Changing Power States on page 56 for more information.
See Configuring attached KVM switches on page 38 for information on adding an EVR1500
environmental monitor. See the EVR1500 Installer/User Guide for more information on using an
EVR1500 environmental monitor.
