Monitoring Server Inlet and Exhaust Temperature
In Oracle ILOM, you can view the server inlet and exhaust temperatures. In addition, if one or
more of the PCIe cards in the server require a cooler operating environment, you can enable
the Enhanced PCIe Cooling Policy. The policy lowers the chassis outlet temperature sensor
thresholds, which are used by the chassis fans to keep the PCIe cards operating within their
required temperature range. For instructions, see the following procedures:
