HP SIM Temperature Threshold Values

[Martin Breidenbach]

I'm configuring warning threshold values for a 3rd party management system.

At the moment I'm looking for reasonable warning threshold values for temperature sensors. So I checked HP SIM and I see that there the warning threshold for cpu/memory/system temperature sensors is set to 95 degrees C.

I checked the AMD website and there it lists a max Tcase value of ca 71-77 degrees depending on the opteron model.

Tcase is the temperature on top of the CPU so the temperature sensors probably measure something different.

But a warning threshold of 95 degrees sounds too high.

Can anybody explain this ? Or maybe somebody has a link to a document explaining this ?
