Viewing system status

On the System Status page, you can monitor the temperature readings, voltage
thresholds, and fan status of your server. You can also view the latest
operating-system-failure screen, the users who are logged in to the IMM, and the
system locator LED.

To view the system health and environmental information of the server, complete
the following steps:
1.

Log in to the IMM. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Opening and using
the IMM Web interface,” on page 9.

2.

In the navigation pane, click System Status to view a dynamically-generated
update of the overall health of the server.
The status of your server determines the message that is shown at the top of
the System Health Summary page. One of the following symbols is displayed:

v

A solid green circle and the phrase Server is operating normally

v

Either a red circle that contains an X or a yellow triangle that contains an
exclamation point and the phrase One or more monitored parameters are
abnormal

If the monitored parameters are operating outside normal ranges, a list of the
specific abnormal parameters is displayed on the System Health Summary
page.

3.

Scroll down to the Temperature area in the Environmentals section of the page,
which includes temperature, voltage, and fan speed information.
The IMM tracks the current temperature readings and threshold levels for
system components such as microprocessors, system board, and hard disk drive
backplane. When you click a temperature reading, a new window opens.
