Intel Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC) Console User's Guide

Using PIC

When you start PIC, the main window displays a tree view. You can expand the view to show the
sensor types supported on the managed server and further expand it to display detailed sensor
information.
A presentation area on the main PIC window displays current readings, threshold configurations,
inventory, and other related information for selections made in the tree view. The main window
also displays the server's LCD (if available) and a picture of the PIC bitmap.
Most of the PIC sensors have associated thresholds that trigger alert actions when the thresholds
are crossed. You can:
•
Specify which alert actions you want to occur.
•
Modify the default thresholds.
•
Configure the default actions and notifications for each threshold.
When a parameter crosses a threshold, you can have PIC:
•
Beep the speaker on the managed server.
•
Display an alert on the managed server.
•
Log the event to disk on the managed server.
•
Broadcast a message.
•
Write a message to the LCD on the managed server.
•
Page an administrator.
•
Use one of the shutdown/power control options to shutdown the OS, do a hardware reset, or
power-off the server.

The PIC Console Main Screen

PIC uses a Windows Explorer-like model, with a navigation pane (tree view) at the window left
and a presentation pane (list view) at the window right. When you select a sensor from the tree, the
presentation pane shows a set of tabbed pages with sensor-specific information.
The main screen of the PIC application is continually updated to show current sensor status.
Specific PIC sensor dialogs (such as temperature and voltage sensors) show the current sensor
reading when displayed and are updated dynamically during refresh.
