Set Temperature Probe Values

Dell OpenManage™ Storage Management User's Guide

The temperature probes monitor the enclosure's temperature. Each temperature probe has a Warning and a Failure threshold. The Warning threshold indicates that the enclosure is approaching an unacceptably warm or cool temperature. You can modify the Warning threshold.

The Failure threshold indicates that the enclosure has reached a dangerous temperature that may cause damage and data loss. You cannot change the default values for the Failure threshold.

To change the temperature probe's Warning threshold:

1. The enclosure's temperature probes are listed in the Temperature Probes section of the screen. Select the probe that you want to change.
   
   
2. Select Set new values in the Set New Temperature Probe Values section of the screen.
   
   
3. Type the lowest acceptable temperature in celsius for the enclosure in the Minimum Warning Threshold text box. The text box label indicates the range that you can specify.
   
   
4. Type the highest acceptable temperature in celsius for the enclosure in the Maximum Warning Threshold text box. The text box label indicates the range that you can specify.
   
   
5. Click Apply Changes.
   
   

If you wish to return the temperature probe's Warning threshold to the default values, select the Reset to default values button and click Apply Changes.
