Thermal Shutdown

Use this window to configure shutdown when a temperature failure occurs. 

NOTICE: When a temperature probe detects an event that satisfies the conditions for temperature warning and failure, the thermal shutdown process may take an average of five minutes.

Thermal shutdown executes a shutdown to protect an overheating chassis from additional damage that may result from excessively hot temperatures. 

Disabled Does not automatically shut down the system when a temperature warning or failure event occurs.
Warning Shuts down the system when a temperature warning event occurs.
Critical/Failure Shuts down the system only when a temperature failure event occurs. Does not shut down the system when a temperature warning event occurs.

Severity Definitions

The severities relevant to thermal shutdown are warning and failure

Warning

A warning event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a temperature (in degrees Celsius) which exceeds the maximum temperature warning threshold. Users can either accept default warning threshold definitions or specify the maximum and minimum temperature warning thresholds.

Failure

A failure event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a temperature (in degrees Celsius) that exceeds the maximum temperature failure threshold. Users cannot set failure thresholds. Temperature failure thresholds are defined by the system manufacturer.
