Example of configuring thermal controls
The commands in the following example show how to configure the fan tray to run the fans at 2500 RPM until the unit reaches a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), at which time the system switches the fans to full speed and maintains that setting until the unit temperature drops below 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). If the system ever reaches a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit), the system triggers alarms.
