Use this window to review the redundancy status of
external chassis fans and to see a list of fans.
Systems can be designed with redundant fans to prevent
system shutdown due to fan failure. When fans are present in a system,
being able to see that one or two fans have failed enables administrators
to replace fans and restore redundancy before the last fan failure
causes the entire system to fail.

Fan Redundancy
Redundancy Status |
Indicates the status of the fan-
- Indicates that the fan is in good status. - Indicates that the fan is in warning status. - Indicates that the fan is in failed status.
|
Number of devices required for full redundancy |
Your system has a number of fans defined for full
redundancy. If the number of fans required for Full redundancy is
three, redundancy is degraded when two fans are working, and lost
when only one fan is working. |
Fan Probe List
Status |
Displays whether the event type for the probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure. |
Probe Name |
Displays the alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies
a fan probe; for example, CPU Fan. |
Reading |
Displays a snapshot of the fan RPM actually measured
by the probe at a given time. |
Minimum Warning Threshold |
Displays the lowest acceptable fan RPM that is recommended
for system operation. Values that fall below this RPM level result
in warning events. |
Maximum Warning Threshold |
Displays the highest acceptable fan RPM that is recommended
for system operation. Values that exceed this fan RPM result in warning
events. |
Minimum Failure Threshold |
Displays the lowest acceptable fan RPM that is required
for system operation. Values that fall below this fan RPM result in
critical/failure events. |
Maximum Failure Threshold |
Displays the highest acceptable fan RPM that is required
for system operation. Values that exceed this fan RPM result in critical/failure
events. |
