There are three thermal threshold definitions for the switch device which impact the overall switch
system operation state:
•
Warning – 105°C: On managed systems only: When the device crosses the 100°C threshold, a
Warning Threshold message will be issued by the management SW, indicating to system
administration that the switch has crossed the Warning threshold. Note that this temperature
threshold does not require nor lead to any action by hardware (such as switch shutdown).
•
Critical – 120°C: When the device crosses this temperature, the firmware will automatically
shut down the device.
•
Emergency – 130°C: In case the firmware fails to shut down the device upon crossing the
Critical threshold, the device will auto-shutdown upon crossing the Emergency (130°C)
threshold.
