Environment tab
You can monitor the system drawer's environmentals in the System Drawer Properties: Environment dialog box. This dialog box displays a warning limit and a failure limit for the fan, voltage, and temperature sensors of the system drawer.
When a sensor receives a reading that meets or exceeds a limit, the system drawer is placed into the appropriate state. For example, if the system drawer's temperature sensor has a warning limit of 25 degrees Centigrade, the yellow status light on the system drawer will light when the temperature of the system drawer reaches 25 degrees Centigrade.
