Dell.ManagedServer.Alert.2161 (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Temperature critical state alert

Causes

Temperature has generated critical alert. Probable causes and corresponding resolutions for this condition are:

Cause	Resolutions
The system board <name> temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The system board <name> temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The system board <name> temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The memory module <number> temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The memory module <number> temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The memory module <number> temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The <name> temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The <name> temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The <name> temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The system inlet temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The system inlet temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The system inlet temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment.
Disk drive bay temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
Disk drive bay temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
Disk drive bay temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The control panel temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
The control panel temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
The control panel temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment and review event log for fan failures.
CPU <number> temperature is less than the lower critical threshold.	Check system operating environment.
CPU <number> temperature is greater than the upper critical threshold.	Check system operating environment, fans, and heatsinks.
CPU <number> temperature is outside of range.	Check system operating environment, fans, and heatsinks.
The system is automatically turned off because of insufficient cooling.	Replace the fans that have stopped functioning, or add the minimum number of fans recommended. For more information, see the system Owners Manual available at the support site.
