When the configuration changes have been applied, the sensor readings will be
displayed on the Home page next to the outlets list and the sensor names will be
updated. This updated name will also display in the physical sensors table at the
bottom of the Environmental Sensors page. This can be useful for ensuring that the
physical and logical sensors are correctly mapped together.
NOTE The recommended maximum ambient operating temperature for the ePDU is 40°C.
Viewing Sensor Readings
Mapped sensor readings display beside the outlets list any time the Home page is
displayed. To view the readings from any other page, click Home in the navigation path
at the top of the page.
Setting Up Alerts
The ePDU can be configured to issue an alert whenever a threshold is crossed, either
for the ePDU as a whole or for a specific outlet. The alert can be programmed to send
an administrator an email message, or it can be programmed to send a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap to a specific IP address.
NOTE See Setting Up Outlets and Power Thresholds" on page 53 for instructions on setting power
thresholds.
Configuring Alert Events
Alert events consist of an outlet, an associated threshold, and an associated policy. To
configure an alert event:
1. Select Alerts, and then select Alert Configuration. The Alert Configuration page
displays. It shows all existing policies (see Figure 57).
Figure 57. Alert Configuration Page
2. Select the outlet from the first list under Event. You can select the ePDU as a
whole or you can select a specific outlet. You can also select an individual relay
board, the Environmental Temperature Sensors or the Environmental Humidity
Sensors.
