3.7.2 Hardware monitor
“Hardware monitor”
allows users view the information of current voltage and
temperature.
Figure 3.7.2.1
If
“Auto shutdown”
has been detected, 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 or
alias triggering auto shutdown, controllers use multiple condition judgments
for auto shutdown, below are the details of condition that Auto shutdown will
be triggered.
1. There are 3 sensors placed on controllers for temperature checking,
they are on core processor, PCI-X bridge, and daughter board.
controller will check each sensor every 30 seconds. When one of
these sensors is over high temperature value for continuously 3
minutes, auto shutdown will be triggered immediately.
