Key Features include:

• Real-time monitoring of supported hardware sensors
• Administrator-defined rules to perform actions based on sensor states, including:
• Log the alert to a file
• Log the alert to the Event Log
• Create a Windows Home Server health notification (that appears in the server health status window)
• Set a fan speed
• Change the system power state (shut down, suspend, hibernate, or restart)
• PWM fan control

Blackbox for Windows Home Server is currently in beta but if you would like to help contribute by helping to beta test then email Tentacle Software including  the specs of your server.
