Sensors

 

As seen in Figure 2-12, the title of the sensor table displays the blade motherboard. The sensor table shows the CPU(s), system temperature and voltages of the currently selected blade. The table headers indicate the status, sensor name, reading and the low and high limits. If the status of a sensor is normal, the reading will be in blue and the sensor will have an OK symbol (). If a sensor status is out of range, the reading will be red and the sensor will have a fail symbol (). If the sensor is not present, the reading will be displayed as ¡§N/A¡¨ and without a status symbol.
