Temperature Monitoring

Hi,

Is there any Dell software available to monitor CPU temp of a Poweredge
2600? Ideally I want something that will spark off a program or send an
email if the temp goes above a certain limit.

Thanks,

as far as I know Dell quite actively prevents any
temperature readings of the CPU. Programs such as Everest
Home or Motherboard Monitor, which can read the CPU temp on
other machines such as all Asus boards, can not read it on
Dells.

Louise,

I know Dimensions don't support it, but you have experience that the
Poweredge servers don't either? That surprises me.

I'm a bit reluctant to install a 3rd party product without contacting
Dell support. I'll do that. I thought it may be worth asking the
question here, though, so thanks for the contribution.

no, I don't know about the PowerEdge servers. I was
referring only to the dimensions that I didn't really think
to spell that out.
