Example uses: for rotation-sensing fan, chassis door, and memory array. To Configure a Range-Based Threshold PIC to increasingly serious hardware conditions. For example, noncritical thresholds might require more serious actions, like a server shutdown. To configure a range-based threshold: 1. - HP Cc3310 | Users Guide - Platform Instrumentation Control - Page 23
thresholds for processor, power supply, rotation-sensing fans, chassis door, and memory arrays have a fixed set of values, not a range.
