Monitoring functions

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

• Sensor monitoring, e.g. battery status, temperature

• Power management with remote switch-on and switch-off of system

• System access at BIOS level

• Integration of virtual media, e.g. installation medium

• Event display with logging

• KVM console (KVM-Over-IP for Video Redirection)
