System Alerts - Temperature

It is essential to ensure that the system is operating within its design temperature as premature aging of the component can occur if the appliance is excessively hot during operation. This can lead to component failure and ultimately result in RMA.

When temperature SNMP alerts are enabled (Alerting), network operators are immediately notified (subject to network connectivity and latency) should the PSU begin operating outside user-defined temperature tolerances.

System generated SNMP Alerts send SNMP traps to a remote SNMP manager which alerts the user of temperature events.

Tip: The Operations Manager can send network, power and system events to the remote SNMP manager.

Configure SNMP System Temperature Alerts

Configure > SNMP Alerts > System > System Temperature

The System Temperature Range alert reports the system temperature (measured at System Temperature 1 and System Temperature 2 sensors) and sends an alert when the system temperature leaves or enters the user-configured temperature range.

  1. Navigate to Configure > System Alerts > Temperature > System Temperature.

  2. Click the Up/Down arrow to set the temperature range limiters to the required upper and lower limits.

    In this image, if any temperature sensor reports the system temperature (measured at System Temperature 1 and System Temperature 2 sensors) to be less than 36 degrees C or greater than 67 degrees C, an SNMP alert will be triggered.

Tip: The temperature display is automatically converted to Fahrenheit.

  1. Click on the SNMP Alerts Enabled button to activate the function.

    Note: The Disabled button de-activates the function and temperature alerts will be stopped until activated again.

  2. Click Apply. The Details Saved banner confirms your settings.
