About SMM alarm levels

Minor, major and critical alarms are defined based on both IPMI, ATCA, and Telco standards for naming alarms.
A minor alarm (also called an IPMI non-critical (NC) alarm) indicates that a temperature or a power level was
l
detected by a sensor that is outside of the normal operating range but is not considered a problem. In the case of a
minor temperature alarm the system could respond by increasing fan speed. A non-critical threshold can be an
upper non-critical (UNC) threshold (for example, a high temperature or a high power level ) or a lower non-critical
(UNC) threshold (for example, a low power level).
A major alarm (also called an IPMI critical or critical recoverable (CR) alarm) indicates a temperature or power level
l
was detected by a sensor that is far enough outside of the normal operating range to require attention from the
operator. It could also mean that the system itself cannot correct the alarm. For example, the cooling system
cannot provide enough cooling to reduce the temperature. It could also mean that conditions are close to being
outside of the allowed operating range. For example, the temperature is close to exceeding the allowed operating
temperature. A critical threshold can also be an upper critical (UC) threshold (for example, a high temperature or a
high power level ) or a lower critical (LC) threshold (for example, a low power level).
A critical alarm (also called an IPMI non-recoverable (NR) alarm) indicates a temperature or power level was
l
detected by a sensor that is outside of the allowed operating range and could potentially cause physical damage.
You can use the SMM CLI to get details about alarm sensors, thresholds, and the events that trigger alarms.

Using the console ports

The SMM includes two console ports named Console 1 and Console 2 that can be used to connect to any serial console
in the chassis. This includes the SMM CLI, the FortiOS CLIs (also called host CLIs) of the FIM and FPM modules in
chassis slots 1 to 6 and all of the SMC SDI consoles in the chassis.

Description
The PSU is not installed in the chassis.
The PSU is present and operating normally.
The PSU module is installed but no power is being delivered
(not plugged in).
The PSU's sensors have detected an alert condition. The
PSU's analog sensors crossed critical or non-recoverable (NR)
thresholds, or the PSU Status Failure bit has been set.
This console port is not connected or is connected to the
SMM SMM CLI.
This console port is connected to this module host console in
this chassis slot.
This console port is connected to this module's SMC console.
