Managing the cooling system
This section provides configuration, management, and monitoring information for the cooling
system in a
FastIron X Series
chassis device.
Configuring the cooling system
The Brocade device provides default settings for all cooling system parameters. Therefore, no initial
configuration of the cooling system is necessary. If desired, you can change the settings of the
following cooling system parameters:
•
Low and high temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds
•
Interval at which the system polls the temperature sensors on the module for a reading
•
Temperate at which the device will shut itself down
•
Fan speed
Thermal planes
The FSX has two thermal planes:
•
Thermal Plane 1 (also called Rule 1/2) – This thermal plane includes the temperature sensors
on the management module only. The management module has two temperature sensors.
Fan speed switching
temperature thresholds
The FSX displays the configured temperature thresholds for the management and
interface modules.
•
Rule 1/2 (MGMT CARDS THERMAL PLANE) – The configured temperature
threshold for the management module.
•
Rule 2/2 – (LINE CARDS THERMAL PLANE) – The configured temperature
thresholds for the interface modules.
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
display the configured temperature thresholds for the
management, interface, and switch fabric modules.
•
Rule 1/3 (MGMT CARDS THERMAL PLANE) – The configured temperature
thresholds for the management module or modules.
•
Rule 2/3 – (LINE CARDS THERMAL PLANE) – The configured temperature
thresholds for all the interface modules.
•
Rule 3/3 – (SWITCH FABRIC CARDS THERMAL PLANE) – The configured
temperature thresholds for the switch fabric modules.
The output displays fan speed information for each of the above thermal planes.
The FSX and
FSX 800
chassis devices have four fan speeds as illustrated in
Slot <number> Temperature
The temperature of each module.
•
On the FSX, the management module resides in slot 9.
•
On the
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
, the management modules reside in slots 9
and 10 and the switch fabric modules are SF 1 and SF 2.
