Description

 

 

Power Supply Detection

The icons for Power Supply 1 and Power Supply 2 display

 

in gray when there is no power to the power supply – they

 

display in blue when power is present.

 

When this function is enabled (there is a check in the

 

checkbox), if there is only one source of power, the switch

 

will beep constantly to warn you of the problem.

 

If you are at the Local Console you will see a message

 

asking you to confirm that your intention is to only have one

 

power source. If your intention is to only have one source of

 

power, there are two ways to stop the beeping: 1) You can

 

disable power supply warnings by unchecking the

 

checkbox. Do this if you want to disable this function on a

 

permanent basis.

 

Or, 2) you can confirm your intention in the dialog box. Do

 

this if you only want to disable the warning temporarily. With

 

this method, the warning function will be back in effect after

 

the next system reset.

 

The default for this function is enabled.

 

 

Fan Warning Message

Place a check in the checkbox to enable a fan warning

 

message.

 

If any fan stops spinning the system beeps to warn you of

 

the problem. If you are at the Local Console a message

 

appears informing you of the situation. You can select

 

Confirm (to ignore the warning and stop the beeping) if you

 

are sure there is no problem.

 

Note: The warning doesn’t necessarily mean that the fan

 

has failed, since the fan will stop spinning (as desired) when

 

the temperature drops below its lower setting.

 

The default for this function is enabled.
