	Table 9 Basic Setting > System Info (continued)
	LABEL	DESCRIPTION
	AC Power	This field displays On when the Switch is using AC power and Absent
		when AC power is not available.

	DC Power	This field displays On when the Switch is using DC power, Present when
		the Switch is connected to DC power but does not use it, and Absent
		when DC power is not available.

	BPS	This field displays the status of the backup power system (BPS) which is
		connected to the rear panel of the Switch.
		On - the Switch is receiving power from the BPS.
		Present - the BPS is connected and is able to supply power when the
		Switch cannot get power from both AC power and DC power.
		Absent - the BPS is disconnected or is failed to supply power.

	Hardware Monitor

	Temperature	The Switch has temperature sensors that are capable of detecting and
	Unit	reporting if the temperature rises above the threshold. You may choose
		the temperature unit (Centigrade or Fahrenheit) in this field.

	Temperature	BOARD, MAC and PHY refer to the location of the temperature sensors on
		the Switch printed circuit board.

	Current	This shows the current temperature at this sensor.

	MAX	This field displays the maximum temperature measured at this sensor.

	MIN	This field displays the minimum temperature measured at this sensor.

	Threshold	This field displays the upper temperature limit at this sensor.

	Status	This field displays Normal for temperatures below the threshold and Error
		for those above.

	Fan Speed	A properly functioning fan is an essential component (along with a
	(RPM)	sufficiently ventilated, cool operating environment) in order for the device
		to stay within the temperature threshold. Each fan has a sensor that is
		capable of detecting and reporting if the fan speed falls below the
		threshold shown.

	Current	This field displays this fan's current speed in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).

	MAX	This field displays this fan's maximum speed measured in Revolutions Per
		Minute (RPM).

	MIN	This field displays this fan's minimum speed measured in Revolutions Per
		Minute (RPM). "<41" is displayed for speeds too small to measure.

	Threshold	This field displays the minimum speed at which a normal fan should work.

	Status	Normal indicates that this fan is functioning above the minimum speed.
		Error indicates that this fan is functioning below the minimum speed.

	Voltage(V)	The power supply for each voltage has a sensor that is capable of
		detecting and reporting if the voltage falls out of the tolerance range.

	Current	This is the current voltage reading.

	MAX	This field displays the maximum voltage measured at this point.

	MIN	This field displays the minimum voltage measured at this point.

	Threshold	This field displays the percentage tolerance of the voltage with which the
		Switch still works.
