Thermal Map Sensor & Rack Map Manual

Introduction

The Thermal Map Sensor (TMS) is our sensor designed for our SmartRack system. This sensor can
be used with our new sensorProbe+ & securityProbe+ family of products. It will help you locate hot
spots in your datacenter's server cabinets.
The TMS sensor includes 6 Temperature Sensors and optional 2 Humidity sensors that our mounted
within your server cabinets. Both in the front and rear of the cabinet.
With this sensor you can save space and sensor ports on the unit as it's using a single sensor port.
Pre wired to be easily installed in your cabinet, they are placed at the top, middle and bottom – front
and rear of the cabinet. This configuration of sensors monitors the air intake and exhaust
temperatures of your cabinet, as well as the temperature differential from the front to the rear. Use
Thermal Map sensors to identify cabinet hot spots and problem areas.
In this manual we're going to show you how to install and configure the sensor, with Web UI options.
We'll use only the TMS sensor variant which has the 6 Temperature Sensors, but the configuration is
the same for the other variant.

Very Important note: The Thermal Map sensors are only compatible with the SP+ (SP2+ and
SPX+), SEC+ base units and will not work on the securityProbe, DCU, CCU or sensorProbe family of
base units. They also will not work on the version of the AKCP Pro Server prior to version v13.0
