APC SCSI-SATA II manual Hard drive S.M.A.R.T. function support

Figure 3.7.2.1

If “Auto shutdown” has been checked, the system will shutdown automatically when voltage or temperature is out of the normal range. For better data protection, please check “Auto Shutdown”.

For better protection and to avoid single short period of high temperature triggering Auto shutdown, IS16GL use multiple condition judgments for Auto shutdown, below is the detail of when the Auto shutdown will be triggered.

1.There are 3 sensors placed on controllers for temperature checking, on core processor, on PCI-X bridge, and on daughter board. IS16GL will check each sensor every 30 seconds. When one of these sensors is over the high temperature value for continuous 3 minutes, the Auto shutdown will be triggered immediately.

2.The core processor temperature limit is 85 . The PCI-X bridge temperature limit is 80 . The daughter board temperature limit is 80 .

3.If the high temperature situation doesn’t last for 3 minutes, IS16GL will not do auto shutdown.

3.7.3Hard drive S.M.A.R.T. function support

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnostic tool for hard drives to give advanced warning of drive failures. S.M.A.R.T. provides users chances to take actions before possible drive failure.
