Chapter 3 : ASWM Software for Windows
Health: Backplane
ASWM will report the values
supplied by the backplane monitors.
You can investigate each monitor to
see specific information pertaining
to the individual backplane. Each
backplane's page consists of 4 parts,
the surface of the backplane board,
the layout of the backplane, the
situation of each drive bay, and the
backplane temperature.
1. Surface of the Backplane board
This section located on the top left
corner will show the outline of
backplane board based on the
server's model.
2. Layout of the Backplane
This section located on the top right
corner will reflect the layout of the
backplane in real time. For example,
the picture will change if someone
remove a hard drive or insert a hard
drive.
3. Drive Bay Situation
The table in the middle of the page
reflects the situation of each drive
bay in real time. If there are any
problems on the backplane, it will
show WARNING/CRITICAL icons
on the relative positions.
4. Backplane Temperature
This section will show you the
current temperatures, calculated
maximum/minimum/average
temperatures, status information,
and customized threshold settings.
You can drag the arrows or edit the
text fields to change these settings.
NOTE: The values shown in this section are for reference purposes
only and may not reflect the values shown by your system. The
pictures shown will vary depending on server model and configuration.
