• Shut down a module to prevent damage
If the temperature of a module exceeds specified high temperature thresholds, the system generates a Syslog message and SNMP trap.
The system can also shut down the module if the temperature exceeds the highest threshold.
You can change default low and high temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds. Refer to Changing temperature thresholds for
modules and fan speeds on page 211.
The fan control modules include a bi-color LED, which indicates the status of the fans. The following table describes the states of this
LED.
