Enabling Or Disabling A Smart Thermal Shutdown

By default, the operating system and server turn off when the 220S and 221S enclosures reach a critical temperature of 0 or 50 degrees celsius. You can change the setting to Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown in Global Tasks, to ensure that only the enclosure and not the operating system or server is turned off when the enclosure reaches a critical temperature.

If the enclosure has virtual disks that are channel-redundant, then the enclosure can be turned off while redundant data continues to be available on another channel.

To enable or disable thermal shut down:

  1. In the Server Administrator window, under the System tree, expand Storage.

  2. Click Information/Configuration on the Storage Properties page.

  3. From the Global Tasks drop-down list box, select Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown or Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown.

  4. Click Execute.
