Monitoring functions

5.1.1

Monitoring with sensors

Sensors
Multiple sensors monitor the device:
● Temperature of processor, memory, mainboard and hard disk drives
● Temperature of optional graphics cards
● Speed monitoring of up to 6 fans
● Pulse Width Modulated PWM fan connections
● Voltage monitoring for processor, memory, other mainboard areas
● Power and status of power supply modules with redundant power supply (optional)
Monitoring options
There are two monitoring options: local monitoring and remote monitoring For remote
monitoring, the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is used for communication
with the system.
An extensive collection of software for implementing a Healthmonitoring solution in various
application scenarios is available on the Internet at IPMI (http://www.supermicro.com/ipmi).
Local monitoring
The device can be monitored locally, e.g. by tools such as SuperDoctor from Supermicro.
These enable sensor scans and control functions to be performed in a web interface or with
the command line.
Remote monitoring
Remote monitoring of one or more devices with the IPMIView software from Supermicro is
another option. IPMIView is a management software for remote maintenance of multiple
terminals in a network. Among the functions provided by IPMIView are the following:
● Configuration management with IP address assignment
● Firmware update
● Access protection with user and PC group management
● Password assignment and login
