BladeCenter T and BladeCenter HT units warn you when the air filter is clogged.
The advanced management module generates the air filter alarm (minor, major, or critical) according to the severity of the clogging of the air filter panel in the front bezel. These alarms can be viewed in the Monitors → System Status page and appear in the management module event log (see System Status and Event Log for more information).
The BladeCenter HT unit does not require you to manually manage air filter alarms, because the filter in this BladeCenter unit is automatically detected and fouled-filter detection is enabled when the front bezel is installed. When the front bezel is removed, fouled-filter detection is automatically disabled, and no fouled-filter alarm is created. The fouled-filter alarm is automatically reset when the front bezel is reinstalled on the BladeCenter HT unit.
The BladeCenter T unit requires you to manually manage fouled-filter configuration settings, because it cannot detect the installation or removal of the front bezel. Fouled-filter detection is enabled, disabled, or reset as part of the air filter reminder configuration in the Passive Air Filter Reminder section of the MM Control → Alerts page (see Alerts for more information). Alarms for a fouled filter must be manually cleared in the Major Alarms or Minor Alarms sections of the Monitors → System Status page (see BladeCenter T and BladeCenter HT alarm management for information and instructions).
