Dell Server Temperature Sensor Health
Dell Server Temperature Sensor Health unit monitor
Warning
If one or more temperature sensor is in warning state, Causes/resolutions for warning condition:
Cause | Resolutions |
<tempsensor name> exceeded the maximum warning threshold. | Check for factors that may cause overheating. For example, verify that the enclosure fan is working. You should check the thermostat settings and examine whether the enclosure is located near a heat source. Make sure the enclosure has enough ventilation and that the room temperature is not too hot. Refer to the enclosure documentation for more diagnostic information. |
<tempsensor name> has crossed the minimum warning threshold. | Check whether the thermostat setting is too low and whether the room temperature is too cool. |
Unable to read the <sensor name> sensor value. | Verify the Embedded System Management (ESM) Log for any sensor related faults. If there is a failed sensor, replace the system board. For more information, contact your service provider. |
The <sensor name> sensor state has changed to a warning state with a value of <temperature> degrees Celsius. | Verify the Embedded System Management (ESM) Log for any sensor related faults. If there is a failed sensor, replace the system board. For more information, contact your service provider. Otherwise, change the warning threshold for the temperature sensor (if applicable) such that it corresponds to the hardware configuration. |
Critical
If one or more temperature sensor is in critical state, Causes/resolutions for Critical condition:
Cause | Resolutions |
<tempsensor name> has exceeded the maximum failure threshold. | Check for factors that may cause overheating. For example, verify that the enclosure fan is working. You should also check the thermostat settings and examine whether the enclosure is located near a heat source. Make sure the enclosure has enough ventilation and that the room temperature is not too hot. Refer to the enclosure documentation for more diagnostic information. |
<tempsensor name> has crossed the minimum failure threshold. | Check whether the thermostat setting is too low and whether the room temperature is too cool. |
The <sensor name> sensor has failed with value the <temperature> degrees Celsius. | Verify the Embedded System Management (ESM) Log for any sensor related faults. If there is a failed sensor, replace the system board. For more information, contact your service provider. |
The <sensor name> sensor has detected an error with a value of <temperature> degrees Celsius. | Review system power policy, check system logs for temperature related failures. |
<Temp Sensor Name> has failed. | Replace the device. |
