Thermal Shutdown
Use this window to configure shutdown when a temperature failure occurs.
NOTE: This help page
may include information about features not supported by your system.
Server Administrator only displays the features that are supported
on your system.
NOTE: 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
Thermal shutdown executes a shutdown to protect an overheating chassis from additional damage that may result from excessively hot temperatures.
CAUTION: The
Thermal Shutdown feature is set to Disabled by default. To help protect
your system from damage that may result from excessively hot temperatures,
you must configure your system to shut down on either a Warning or
Critical/Failure event.
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 | A warning event occurs when any temperature probe inside a chassis reads a temperature (in degrees Celsius) that 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. |
