Enabling or disabling thermal shutdown

Use the Thermal Shutdown option to configure the system to shut down when a fan failure occurs in non-redundant fan mode. A shutdown is initiated due to non-redundant fan failures or temperature increases beyond the pre-set threshold. If disabled, the System Management Driver ignores thermal events and the system immediately powers off in data-destructive situations.
Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Advanced Options > Fan and Thermal Options > Thermal Shutdown.
  2. Select a setting.
    • Enabled—The server automatically shuts down when the internal server temperature reaches within five degrees of the critical level.

    • Disabled—The server does not automatically shut down when the internal server temperature reaches within five degrees of the critical level. Shutdown occurs when the temperature reaches the critical level.

  3. Save your setting.
