Monitoring Chassis Temperature
Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the chassis temperature at all times via an onboard sensor. If an over-temperature
condition occurs, there are two different levels of error severity:
Warning threshold has been exceeded
•
Danger threshold has been exceeded
•
Warning Threshold
If the temperature exceeds the switch's Warning threshold, the switch sends out a trap. Traps are also
printed to the console in the form of text error messages.
When the Warning threshold has been exceeded, switch operations remain active. However, it is
recommended that immediate steps be taken to address the over-temperature condition.
Addressing Warning threshold temperature conditions may include:
Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
•
Checking the ambient room temperature
•
Temperature Danger Threshold
If the chassis temperature rises above the Danger threshold, the switch will power off until the temperature
conditions have been addressed and the switch is manually booted. The Danger threshold is factory-set
and cannot be configured by the user.
Addressing danger threshold temperature conditions may include:
Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
•
Checking the ambient room temperature
