If “Auto shutdown” has been checked, the system will shutdown automatically when
voltage or temperature is out of the normal range. For better data protection, please
check “Auto Shutdown”.
For better protection and avoiding single short period of high temperature triggering
auto shutdown, the RAID controller evaluates multiple conditions for triggering auto
shutdown. Below are the details of when the Auto shutdown will be triggered.
1. There are 3 sensors placed on controller for temperature checking, they are on
core processor, PCI-X bridge, and daughter board. Controller will check each
sensor for every 30 seconds. When one of these sensors is over high
temperature value continuously for 3 minutes, auto shutdown will be triggered
immediately.
2. The core processor temperature limit is 85°C. The PCI-X bridge temperature
limit is 80°C. The daughter board temperature limit is 80°C.
3. If the high temperature situation doesn’t last for 3 minutes, controller will not
do auto shutdown.
5.5.2 UPS
“UPS” is used to set up UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
Currently, the system only supports and communicates with APC (American Power
Conversion Corp.) smart UPS. Please review the details from the website:
http://www.apc.com/ .
First, connect the system and APC UPS via RS-232 for communication. Then set up the
shutdown values (shutdown battery level %) when power is failed. UPS in other
companies can work well, but they have no such communication feature with the
system.
