29.1 Monitoring power and temperature with the UI

The Data Centers screen provides a

3D visualization

of your hardware environment, and uses a

color-coded system to display temperature data for your hardware.

The

Utilization panel

and

Utilization graphs

display utilization

statistics

via the Utilization view on the Enclosures, Interconnects (utilization graphs only), Power Delivery
Devices, Racks, and Server Hardware screens.

29.1.1 Monitoring data center temperature

The Data Centers resource provides a visualization of the racks in your data center and displays
their peak temperature using a color-coded system. To enable this, you must first specify the physical
positions of your racks and the position of the components in them using the Data Centers resource.

You can use temperature visualization to identify over-cooled areas of your data center. You can
close vent tiles in areas that have low peak temperatures to increase airflow to areas that have
insufficient cooling. If the entire data center is over-cooled, you can raise the temperature to save
on cooling costs.
