6. Sensors
Figure 6-1
Clicking on the Sensors tab of the IPMI View management session in the Viewing Window (as shown
in Figure 6-1) provides you with detailed information on the sensors monitored by the BMC. It shows
the reading of supported voltages and fan speeds and temperatures monitored by the BMC. The current
reading is shown in yellow numbers, the high limits/low limits in red numbers and a description for the
monitoring sensors in blue text beneath the monitoring sensor figures.
Fan speeds have only a low limit, temperatures have only a high limit, and voltages have both high and
low limits.
• Refreshing monitor status
You can configure the IPMI View to automatically refresh the monitoring status periodically by
checking the Auto Refresh check box and selecting the refresh period in seconds in the seconds list. Or,
click the Manual Refresh button to refresh the monitoring status every time you need an update.
• Hide inactive item
IPMI View gets predefined sensor information from the mainboard. Some items may be not installed
for different configurations. For example, there will be no CPU fan if using a passive CPU heatsink,
and only one CPU on a dual CPU mainboard that has only a single CPU installed. The first time the
sensors page is shown, IPMI View will hide inactive items (the default setting) if any. A manager may
change this option later by un-checking the “Hide inactive item” box, as shown in Figure 6-2.
