Under normal conditions, the graphic displays animated thermometers and spinning fans. The
color and blinking speed of the port LEDs are updated every 1 to 2.5 seconds depending on the
operating system and browser used. Warning messages automatically display in a pop-up
window if problems occur. For example, if the temperature exceeds the maximum value, a fan
stops rotating or a port state becomes problematic. Push buttons located on the bottom of the
warning message popup window are connected to a separate browser providing basic
troubleshooting guides.
Note: The thermometer displays the highest temperature from the last data sample. Click the
thermometer to display the temperature readings from all five switch sensors.
