What means "BP Bottom Temp"

Question

I am administering a legacy Dell Poweredge 2650 Server. I am doing a routine maintenance check using Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.

When navigating to System > Main System Chassis > Temperature I am getting temp readings of different parts of the server. There are three abbreviations I do not understand. They are marked bold below:

• BP Bottom TEMP
• ESM CPU 1 TEMP
• ESM Frt I/O TE

I googled the definitions but could not find what they mean. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Normally these acronyms mean:

• BP => Backplane (see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backplane)
• ESM => Embedded System Module (should be your DRAC)
• FRT => Front
