2. Log in to the Dominion PX web interface. The Dominion PX should
have detected the connected sensors, and display them in the web
interface.
3. Identify each sensor through the sensor's serial number. See
Identifying Environmental Sensors
(on page 119).
4. The Dominion PX should automatically manage the detected sensors.
Verify whether detected sensors are managed. If not, have them
managed. See
Managing Environmental Sensors
(on page 121).
5. Configure the sensors. See
Configuring Environmental Sensors
(on page 122). The steps include:
a. Name the sensor.
b. If the connected sensor is a Raritan contact closure sensor,
specify an appropriate sensor type.
c. Mark the sensor's physical location in the rack or server room.
d. If the sensor is a
numeric
sensor, configure its upper and lower
thresholds.
Note: Numeric sensors use numeric values to indicate the environmental
or internal conditions while discrete (on/off) sensors use alphabetical
characters to indicate the state. Only numeric sensors have the threshold
settings.
Identifying Environmental Sensors
An environmental sensor includes a serial number tag on the sensor
cable.
