• Upper Critical - Upper critical numeric sensor value.
• Upper Non-Critical - Upper non-critical numeric sensor value.
• Upper Non-Recoverable - Upper non-recoverable numeric sensor value.
The IPMI Numeric Sensor Details window may also contain one of three gauge types displaying
the numeric sensor reading, including upper and lower thresholds and the status of the sensor. See
IPMI Viewer Window Features on page 218 for more information.
Customizing the IPMI Numeric Sensors window
By default, the following fields display in the IPMI Numeric Sensors window and may be removed
using the Customize link:
• Name - The numeric sensor name. An icon representing the numeric sensor type will appear to
the left of the name. Clicking on the name of the numeric sensor or its icon will display the
IPMI Numeric Sensor Detail window.
The name field also contains an icon that indicates the numeric sensor type (for example, fan,
battery and so on) and may also contain an icon indicating whether the current value is within
acceptable thresholds, as shown in Table 8.3.
• Status - The numeric sensor status.
• Reading - The numeric sensor reading.
• Gauge - A graphic that displays the current numeric sensor reading and whether the reading is
within a valid range. A pointer is positioned at the current reading. Depending on the numeric
sensor, the gauge may contain any of the following items:
• Green area - Normal values within the specified thresholds.
• Yellow areas - Upper and lower non-critical threshold values.
• Red areas - Upper and lower critical threshold values.
• Dark red areas - Upper and lower non-recoverable threshold values.
