Re: Server Temperatures

Is there any information about the normal operating range temperatures
of the XServe?  I would like to make sure that our XServe is cool
enough, but can't seem to find anything. Currently, our XServe is
running at the following:


 Between the Processors        : 32.00 C
 CPU 2 Ambient                 : 30.00 C
 CPU 2 Internal                : 40.36 C
 Behind the DIMMs              : 53.00 C
 PCI Slots                     : 48.00 C
 CPU 1 Internal                : 47.93 C
 System Controller Ambient     : 40.00 C
 System Controller Internal    : 51.38 C
 CPU 1 Inlet                   : 24.00 C
 CPU 1 Ambient                 : 35.75 C
 CPU 2 Inlet                   : 22.50 C

If you run:
sudo serveradmin command xserve:command = status | less

You can find the thresholds for each parameter, the units are 1/65536 of a C degree.

So, for example, for CPU 1 it shows maxWarningThreshold as 5636096, which is 86C, and maxFailureThreshold as 5898240, which is 90C.

I wrote a python script to log these temps here:

Unfortunately, the sensor numbers appear to change from server to server, so I need to update it to work off the sensor name, not the sensor number. The current script doesn't work quite right on all systems, but you can look at it and get an idea of what I'm doing.
