  • CPU temperature
  • Ambient temperature
  • Fan speed in revolutions per minute
  • Voltages
  • LEDs
  • Hard disks and memory

The hardware health states are displayed as follows:

  • Good - The server hardware is working properly.
  • Unknown - An error occurred while attempting to retrieve information about hardware health. The server is connected but is not returning hardware health information.
  • Unreachable - The server cannot be contacted for information about the status of hardware health. This state is most often caused by a network problem.
  • Unmonitored - The server is not being monitored.
  • Warning Failure - A potential or impending fault condition has been detected on the server. Action should be taken to prevent the problem from becoming more serious.
