Managing temperature settings
The device contains temperature sensors that the software reads based on a configurable device poll time. Except for the ICX 6430-24
model, the device has two automatic speed fan control settings based on the temperature. To protect the device from overheating, the
following temperature threshold levels exist:
•
The warning level is the temperature at which the device generates a syslog message. It is configurable up to 83°C.
•
The shutdown level is the temperature at which the device reboots. It is set by the device and is not configurable. When the
device temperature reaches the shutdown level, it generates a warning message that the device’s temperature is over the
shutdown level and the device will shut down in five minutes. The system restarts five minutes after the device reaches the
temperature shutdown level.

Displaying the temperature
To display the temperature of a device, enter the
show chassis
command at any level of the CLI. The
show chassis
command displays
the power supply status and temperature threshold levels for fan speed.
NOTE
The displayed temperature reflects the temperature of the board inside the
device.
