  • Page 162 The ADC MIB has a small subset of hardware sensors. It does not cover any BIOS level failures, because the BIOS checks the hardware primarily during boot time, before the Citrix ADC software starts. If the BIOS detects a failure, it does not load the boot loader. If the boot loader does not load, the operating system does not load, and therefore the ADC SNMP software service responsible for sending the traps does not load.
