    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:   Root   in this box
                 Password:  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
