TITLE:  Manhattan D Temperature Sensor Alarm
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   Temperature sensors on the Manhattan D system are set too low. 
   With current -008 and -009 baseboards, the Upper Warning 
   Threshold value is set at 122 Fahrenheit/50 Celsius. LANDesk 
   temperature warnings are FALSE. 
   
   This issue affects the following system: 503223.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   The temperature threshold value is set too low in the LANDesk 
   software on the system.  This issue will be resolved in a later 
   version of the LANDesk software.    

 
ACTION 
 
   To increase the threshold value of sensor 2 in the LANDesk 
   software, follow the instructions below.
   
   Bring up the LANDesk software by highlighting or using your mouse 
   to open the software.  Then perform the following steps:
   
   1. Double-click with the mouse or highlight and press the 
      [Enter] key on the LANDesk Server Manager Console 
      ICON.
   
      A file tree similar to File Manager will appear.
   
   2. Microsoft Windows Network should be highlighted. Press 
      the [Enter] key or double-click with the mouse.  
      A portion of this tree will breakdown showing a 
      Workgroup.
   
   3. Highlight Workgroup. This is the default group 
      configured during installation. Press the [Enter] key.
      The tree will breakdown again showing a Customer 
      group. This is the default name of the group.
   
   4. Highlight Customer and press the [Enter] key. A logon 
      box will appear requesting the following information:
    
             User ID:  <Enter> Root   in this box
             Password: <Enter> Calvin in this box
   
      Press the [Enter] key after entering the information 
      requested above.
   
      Another tree will appear.
   
   5. Highlight Server Control and press the [Enter] key.
   
      The LANDesk Server Control - Customer Dialog box will 
      appear:
   
      Select Admin Options to adjust temperature emphasis 
      from Celsius(C) to Fahrenheit(F) depending upon 
      preference.
   
   6. Click on the Temperature button in the Server Control 
      box.
   
   7. Highlight Baseboard Sensor 2.
   
   8. Set Upper Fatal Threshold to 149 F / 65 C.
   
   9. Set Upper Warning Threshold to 140 F / 60 C.
   
   The customer must wait five minutes after completing these 
   instructions before turning the system OFF.  If the system is 
   turned OFF during this 5-minute interval, the LANDesk will revert 
   to the default settings of:
   
        Upper Fatal Threshold    140 F / 60 C
        Upper Warning Threshold  122 F / 50 C
