Measures reported by UCSCsSrvMbStatTest

Issues in the motherboard can have an adverse impact on the performance levels delivered by a blade server. This test monitors the health of the motherboard of each blade server loaded in a chassis, and reveals the following:

  • Is the motherboard consuming power excessively?
  • Are the current and voltage inputs received by the motherboard in excess of its capacity?
  • Are the temperatures in the front and rear panels of the motherboard normal?
  • If the temperature of the rear panel is very high, then which rear panel is contributing to this abnormality - the left or the right rear panel?

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
ConsumedPower Indicates the total power consumed by the motherboard of this blade server. Watts An unusually high value could be a cause for concern.
InputCurrent Indicates the input current received by the motherboard of 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 motherboard.
InputVoltage Indicates the input voltage received by the motherboard of this blade server. Volts Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A sudden, yet significant increase in this value could inflict injury on the motherboard.
FrontTemp Indicates the front panel temperature of the motherboard of this blade server. Celcius A high temperature indicates that the motherboard is overheated.
RearTemp Indicates the rear panel temperature of the motherboard of this blade server. Celcius A high temperature indicates that the motherboard is overheated.
RearTempL Indicates the left panel temperature of the motherboard of this blade server. Celcius A high temperature indicates that the motherboard is overheated.
RearTempR Indicates the right panel temperature of the motherboard of this blade server. Celcius A high temperature indicates that the motherboard is overheated.
