Measures reported by UCSCsSrvCpuTest

The Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers support up to two Intel Xeon Series 5500 multicore processors. If the temperature of a processor suddenly soars or a high voltage of current unexpectedly flows through a processor, it can damage one/more internal components of the processor, thereby suspending not only the processor's operations, but also that of the blade server depending on it. It is hence imperative to keep tabs of the temperature and current changes experienced by each of the processors of a blade server. Using this test, you can periodically check the temperature and input current of each of the processors supported by a blade server, and promptly detect abnormalities (if any).

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
CpuTemp Indicates the temperature of the CPU that is present in this blade server. Celcius A low value is ideal for this measure. A sudden and significant increase in this value could be a cause for concern.
InputCurrent Indicates the input current received by the CPUs that is present in this blade server. Amps Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A sudden, yet significant increase in this value could inflict injury on the internal components of the processor.
