Temperature/System monitoring

The temperature and system monitoring aims to reliably protect the computer
hardware against damage caused by overheating. In addition, any unnecessary
noise is also prevented by reducing the fan speed, and information is provided
on the system status. The temperature and system monitoring are controlled by
an onboard controller developed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
The following functions are supported:
Temperature monitoring
Measurement of the processor temperature, measurement of the system
temperature with an onboard temperature sensor, measurement of the ambient
temperature with an optional temperature sensor.
Fan monitoring
Fans that are no longer available and blocked or sticky fans are detected.
Blocked or sticky fans are operated with 12 V pulse voltage. Fans removed while
the system is switched off are indicated by an LED when the system is switched
on again and processed by the BIOS or the application.
Fan control
The fans are regulated according to temperature.
Sensor monitoring
The removal of, or a fault in, a temperature sensor is detected. If this happens,
all fans monitored by this sensor run at maximum speed to provide the highest
possible protection of the hardware. Temperature sensors removed while the
system is switched off are indicated by an LED and can be located by means of
ServerView (see manual „ServerView - Server Management).
