Temperature
The temperature item displays information about all temperature sensors. You can see individual sensor
information in the presentation pane by selecting the corresponding sensor in the navigation tree. The
Sensor Settings tab lets you monitor current temperature readings, current status, and sensor error counts,
and lets you set sensor thresholds. If a threshold is not supported, it is grayed out. The Alert Actions tab lets
you set what kinds of actions to take if a sensor crosses the boundaries you have set. The Sensor Information
tab displays information like minimum and maximum readings, nominal readings (the expected normal
reading for this sensor), and the tolerance of this sensor.
Third-Party Components
Third Party onboard devices, such as the SCSI controller, can be managed by ISM. You can configure event
actions for DMI indications generated by third-party Server Instrumentation installed with Platform
Instrumentation (PI). You can also monitor third-party instrumentation via the DMI Explorer Interface. See
page 46 for details about event configuration for third party instrumentation.
NOTE Some processor temperature sensors may first show a current status of “unknown,” and a
current reading of “unsupported.” The values will be replaced by correct data when the sensor
becomes active. This can take as long as 2 minutes.
Voltage
In a managed server, PIC monitors many types of voltage sensors; the number and type depend on the
server hardware configuration. Each monitored voltage sensor has independently configurable thresholds
and event actions. Example voltage sensors are:
• 12V, 5V, 3.5V, 3.3V, –5V, –12V
• Processors 1.5V and 2.5V
• SCSI A Termination 1, 2, and 3
The voltage item in the navigation pane lists all supported voltage sensors. You can see individual sensor
information in the presentation pane by selecting the corresponding sensor in the navigation tree. The
Sensor Settings tab lets you monitor current readings, current status, and sensor error counts, and lets you
set sensor thresholds. If a threshold is not supported it is grayed out. The Alert Actions tab lets you set what
kinds of actions to take if a sensor crosses the boundaries you have set. The Sensor Information tab displays
information like minimum and maximum readings, nominal readings (the expected normal reading for this
sensor), and the tolerance of this sensor.
Managing Servers with PIC
Besides monitoring server health, the most important actions you take with PIC are configuring the sensor
thresholds at which you want to be notified, and configuring the actions to be taken when a threshold is
crossed.
Viewing and Configuring Sensor Information
To view or configure a sensor, do the following:
1. On the PIC main window, expand a sensor item (such as voltage or temperature) in the navigation pane
to see the list of available sensors.
2. Select an entry from the list.
