The Nexio G8 systems comply with the SNMP protocol for extensive system health monitoring through third-party SNMP monitoring applications. Imagine Communications provides management information base (MIB) files which allow access to motherboard health information. See SNMP Test Procedures (on page 5) to learn how to set up and view information using a standard third-party MIB browser. Supported System Health Monitors The following system health monitors are supported through SNMP. 1. System fan RPM monitors a. Midplane system fans (four) a. CPU fans (two) 2. System heat level monitors a. CPU(s) heat b. System heat 3. Power supply voltage levels a. +12V rail b. -12V rail c. +5V rail d. -5V rail e. +3.3V rail f. CPU core voltage Supported SNMP Traps System health status is interpreted by the device being monitored, and SNMP trap messages are sent when the pre-set thresholds are exceeded. The following SNMP traps are supported. 1. Power supply redundant module failure warning. 2. CPU heat level warning. 3. System heat level warning. 4. Power supply voltage warnings. a. +12V rail b. -12V rail c. +5V rail 2014 Imagine Communications. Proprietary and Confidential. 3/28/2014 Page 3
