Machine Administration Guide 2.6

2.1 Hardware Monitoring Functions

This function is supported by all models.

The hardware monitoring functions display hardware status, monitors hardware failures and hardware life, and detects signs of hardware problems. If the hardware status changes, these functions stores log data in a log file and e-mail the information to the set destination. These functions also displays a message on the console.

The hardware monitoring functions include the following two functions:

• Hardware configuration display function
• Hardware monitoring information function

The PRIMEPOWER1 main unit does not have an LCD. It provides therefore the following functions.

The PRIMEPOWER1 CHECK LED blinks when Machine Administration detects a hardware error. The various types of hardware errors are identified as follows:

Slow blinking (on: 0.5 second, off: 3.5 seconds):	A disk error was detected.
Fast blinking (on: 0.5 second, off: 0.5 second):	A hardware error other than a disk error was detected or a disk error and another error were detected at the same time.
