Often, too, there is a hardware monitoring program on the same disk. Check the disk - if it's there, install it.

It only means that an alarm is set for those features. It's user-configurable, so you can set it to when seems sensible for your hardware. Take a long look at /etc/sensors.conf. HTH Anne
