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. |
The severities relevant to thermal shutdown are warning and failure.
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.
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.
