Chapter 5. Using the environmental monitoring probe
The environmental monitoring probe is a connectivity device that enables you to
remotely monitor the temperature, humidity, and status of two contact devices
through a standard Web browser, providing greater power management control and
flexible monitoring.
You can use the environmental monitoring probe with any IBM DPI PDU+ models.
When the environmental monitoring probe is connected to the RJ-45 console
connector on the PDU, temperature and humidity readings are automatically
displayed in the Web interface. To access the readings, you must run the Web
browser and connect to the PDU IP address .
