Configuring the Thermal Profile for Fan Tray Operations (APX 8000)

Overview of the Thermal profile for fan tray operations

Parameter

Specifies

Operation-Mode

Mode of operation in which the fan tray runs. When the

 

parameter is set to full-speed-only, the fans in the fan

 

tray operate at full speed at all times. (This is the default mode.)

 

When set to lownoise-speed-only, the fans operate at the

 

low noise speed (as specified in the Fantray-Lownoise-RPM

 

setting) at all times. When the parameter is set to

 

auto-regulationmode, the fan speeds are controlled

 

dynamically on the basis of temperature. In

 

auto-regulationmode, the fans run at low noise speed

 

when the system starts up. The system monitors the unit

 

temperature, and when it reaches a high-temperature threshold

 

(as specified in the High-Temperature-Trigger setting), it

 

switches the fans to full speed and logs a message. When the

 

unit temperature falls below the low-temperature threshold (as

 

specified in the Low-Temperature-Trigger setting), the system

 

switches the fans back to low noise speed.

Low-Temperature-Trigger

Low-temperature threshold setting, from 0 to 60 degrees

 

Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). If the fan tray is in

 

auto-regulation mode and this threshold is crossed, the system

 

switches the fans to low noise speed and logs a message. If you

 

specify a higher value than the High-Temperature-Trigger

 

setting, the system displays an error message when you attempt

 

to write the profile.

High-Temperature-Trigger

High-temperature threshold setting, from 0 to 60 degrees

 

Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). If the fan tray is in

 

auto-regulation mode and this threshold is crossed, the system

 

switches the fans to full speed and logs a message. If you

 

specify a lower value than the Low-Temperature-Trigger

 

setting, the system displays an error message when you attempt

 

to write the profile.

Alarm-Temperature-Trigger

Temperature threshold setting, from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32

 

to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). If this threshold is crossed, the

 

system generates an Alarm event, the Alarm Relay on the shelf

 

controller is turned on, and the Alarm status light on the front

 

panel of the fan tray illuminates.

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.
