◦ OK—If the thermal temperature status and thermal CPU fan status and thermal System
fan status are all OK.
◦ Unknown—The thermal features are not supported.
Temperature Sensors Information
• Temperature condition—Displays the current temperature condition of the system or client PC.
This value can be:
◦ OK—The temperature is within normal operating range.
◦ Degraded—The temperature is above normal for airflow obstructions. Make sure that the
cover is on.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Proper airflow is possible
only when the cover is in place and properly secured.
◦ Failed—The temperature is outside the normal operating range and could permanently
damage the system. The system automatically shuts down to prevent damage to hardware
or data loss.
NOTE: A Failed condition does not occur in a client PC since the power supply for the
client is cut off if thermal condition reaches a permanently damaging level.
◦ Unknown— If the Server Agents or the Server Agent cannot determine the status of the
device, you may need to upgrade your driver software. If you are managing a client with
an unknown temperature status, the client may not support thermal detection.
• Sensor—The number that uniquely specifies the temperature sensor description.
• Location—This specifies the location of the temperature sensor present in the system.
• Temperature—This is the current temperature sensor reading in degrees Celsius.
• Threshold—This is the shutdown threshold temperature sensor setting in degrees Celsius. This
is the temperature at which the sensor is considered to be in a failed state causes the system
to be shutdown.
NOTE: Only the Ambient zone type allows setting of the threshold temperature. Not all
(maybe one or none) sensors can set this value.
• Type—This specifies the type of this instance of temperature sensor. This value can be:
◦ Blowout—If a blowout temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the fan or fans in the
area of the temperature sensor increases in speed in an attempt to reduce the temperature
before a caution or critical threshold is reached.
• Caution—If a caution temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the temperature condition is
set to degraded and the system either continues or shuts down depending on the setting of
the Thermal Degraded Action.
• Critical—If a critical temperature sensor reaches its threshold, the Temperature Condition is
set to failed and the system shuts down.
• Unknown—The Temperature threshold type could not be determined.
