Power Supply Monitoring Dell PE R210

[smith01]

I have a Dell PE R210 with 4GB of RAM and the iDRAC 6 Enterprise card and I have installed the Dell customised version of ESXi 4.0. In the vSphere Client on the Hardware monitoring everything shows as normal apart from the Power Supply which shows as Unknown. Am I missing something here is there a setting I need to enable or is this just because of the power supply used in the Server?

Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone else had this problem where the power supply shows as unknown? The server is on the HCL.

unknown? The server is on the HCL.

The server is on the HCL, but that doesn't mean they extensively tested every component on ESX with that server. did you report this issue to VM Ware? That's a good place to start.

also "unknown" is it listed as a power supply or "unknown" hardware?

I have not done this yet how do I go about that?

It is listed as a power supply but shows unknown. Sorry I have know screen shots to post.
