Sensor Information

Each sensor has a sensor information tab that displays individual sensor information, such as
specifications and reading extremes.

Inventory

Each sensor has an inventory information tab that shows information about the sensor.

Health

Information about all unhealthy sensors is copied under the Health branch. Select the Health
branch of the server tree in the navigation pane to get a quick and simple view of the current server
health. If, for example, a 12V voltage sensor indicates that the current status is not OK, then data
about that 12V sensor is added to the Health branch of the tree. You can select the 12V entry in
either the Health or Voltage branch of the tree to display information about the sensor.
All sensors in either a critical or noncritical condition will appear in the Health branch of the tree in
addition to their normal location in other areas of the navigation tree. In this way, you can get a
quick summary of problem areas on your server and begin corrective actions.
Colored icons in the Health branch of the server tree indicate individual sensor status and overall
server status:
•
Green: healthy server
•
Yellow: noncritical conditions
•
Red: critical failures
•
Blue Question Mark: unsupported sensors
The color of the overall server health icon will display the state of the most severe sensor status. If
any sensor is in a critical condition (regardless of other sensors being in a noncritical condition),
the server health status will be shown as critical (red). If there are only noncritical sensors, the
server health status will be shown as noncritical (yellow). If all sensors report normal conditions,
the server health status will be shown as OK (green).

Chassis

PIC monitors chassis door open/closed switches for managed servers that support this feature. The
number of sensors monitored depends on the server chassis.
The chassis intrusion sensor screen displays the current security status. Not all servers support this
component.
When a chassis door that includes an open/close switch is opened, the vulnerable state is indicated
as a critical condition in the health branch of the PIC Console, and the requested event actions are
carried out. When all chassis doors that include an open/close switch are closed, PIC indicates the
chassis is secure and carries out the requested event actions.
For systems that do not support chassis open/closed switches, this portion of the PIC Console will
either not display or the chassis status will be reported as "Unknown."
