Table 21
describes the default temperature thresholds for PowerConnect B-MLXe devices.
For information about checking the current low and high temperature threshold settings for
modules and fan speeds, refer to
“Displaying temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds”
on page 109.
You can change the default low and high temperature thresholds for a particular module and fan
speed. For example, to change the low and high thresholds of the medium fan speed for the
management modules to 56
C and 72
s C, respectively, enter the following command at the
global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# fan-threshold mp med 56 72
Syntax: fan-threshold
<module>
[low
<high-threshold>
] [med
<low-threshold> <high-threshold>
]
[med-hi
<low-threshold> <high-threshold>
] [high
<low-threshold> <high-threshold>
]
For the
<module>
parameter, you can specify the following:
•
lp – Changes low and high temperature thresholds for interface modules
•
mp – Changes low and high temperature thresholds for management modules
•
mp-cpu – Changes low and high temperature thresholds for the management module CPU
•
switch fabric – Changes low and high temperature thresholds for switch fabric modules
For the <
low
-
threshold
> and <
high
-
threshold
> parameters, you can specify any temperature in
Centigrade. However, when changing low and high temperature thresholds for module fan speeds,
remember that the low temperature threshold of a
higher
fan speed must be lower than the
high
temperature threshold of the lower fan speed. Dell has established this guideline to ensure fan
speed stability.
