And if no action was taken then the Director generates Critical alert stating the CPU temperature has exceeded the threshold of 70 deg C. During the problem determination it was found that the CPU was getting hot and Director was warning user to take appropriate action. It was also determined the threshold values set by Director for CPU temperatues are too low. The processor can work safely on higher temperature than indicated by Critical alert. This eFix will set the Director thresholds for CPU Temperature to the higher value. But user will have to change the user defined thresholds from IBM Director web Gui under Health. 1.3 eFix IC36164 is for the following hardware configurations IBM PC 300PL Model 6565 1.4 eFix IC36164 is for the following operating systems Windows XP Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Professional Windows NT 4.0 Server Windows NT 4.0 Workstation 1.5 eFix IC36164 is for the following software configurations Director Agent 3.1.1 1.6 Dependencies Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 is required. 1.7 Limitations Administrator privileges are required. 2.0 Change History ______________________________________________________________________ 2.1 Files Replaced or Added 2.1.1 Windows 2000 and Windows XP 04/18/2003 06:27am 61,504 Ibmtempw.dll 2.2 Registry changes made 2.2.2 Windows 2000 and Windows XP none 3.0 Installation Instructions ______________________________________________________________________ 3.1 The primary installation method is to run IC36164.exe.
