Alarm Configuration

7.2. The Over Temperature Alarms

The Over Temperature Alarms can inform you when temperatures inside your equipment

rack reach or exceed user specified trigger levels. There are two separate Over

Temperature Alarms; the Initial Threshold alarm and the Critical Threshold Alarm.

Typically, the Initial Threshold alarm is used to provide notification when temperatures

reach a point where you might want to investigate, whereas the Critical Threshold alarm

is used to provide notification when temperatures approach a level that may harm

equipment or inhibit performance. The trigger for the Initial Threshold alarm is generally

set lower than the Critical Threshold alarm.

To configure the Over Temperature Alarms, access the TSM/RSM command mode

using a password that permits Administrator Level commands, and then use the Alarm

Configuration menu to select the desired alarm feature.

Note that both the Initial Threshold menus and Critical Threshold menus offer essentially

the same set of parameters, but parameters defined for each alarm are separate and

unique. Therefore, parameters defined for the Critical Threshold Alarm will not be

applied to the Initial Threshold Alarm and vice versa. Both the Over Temperature (Initial

Threshold) alarm and the Over Temperature (Critical Threshold) alarm offer the following

parameters:

• TriggerEnable: Enables/Disables the trigger for this alarm. When Disabled, this

alarm will be suppressed. (Default = On)
