xiv) Adding and editing a Fan Monitor
The Fan Monitor checks select Cisco, Dell, and HP device fans and cooling devices, such as
active and passive cooling components, to see that they are enabled and returning values
that signal they are working properly. The monitor first checks to see if a device is a Dell,
Cisco, or HP device, then checks any enabled fans and other cooling devices. If a fan is
disabled, the monitor ignores it; if a fan does not return a value of 1 - Normal (for Cisco
devices), 3 - OK (for Dell Servers), 1 - Normal (for Dell PowerConnect switches and routers),
devices), 4 - OK (for HP ProCurve Servers), 2 - OK (for ProLiant switches and routers) the
monitor is considered down.
Note: Not all types of device fans and cooling components can be monitored using the Fan
Monitor. Check the make and model of your device fan or cooling component before
attempting to monitor.
