Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the chassis ambient air 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
When the warning threshold has been exceeded, switch operations remain active. However, it is recom- mended that immediate steps be taken to address the
Addressing warning threshold temperature conditions may include:
•Checking for a chassis air flow obstruction
•Checking the ambient room temperature
•Checking the fan status using the show fan command. See page
•Verifying that the warning threshold has not been manually set to an otherwise common or acceptable ambient
Note. Once the ambient air temperature is reduced to below the warning threshold, the switch’s TEMP LED automatically resets to green.
Danger Threshold
If the chassis ambient air temperature rises above the switch’s danger threshold of 80 degrees Centigrade, the switch will power off. The danger threshold is
Addressing danger threshold temperature conditions may include:
•Checking for a chassis air flow obstruction
•Checking the ambient room temperature
•Checking the fan status using the show fan command. See page page
Note. When the danger threshold has been exceeded, the switch’s TEMP LED will not reset from amber to green until after a system boot.
