Resolving voltage and temperature warnings

Resolving voltage and temperature warnings

1.

Check that all of the fans are working by making sure the Voltage/Fan Fault/Service Required LED on

each power supply is off, or by using the SMU to check enclosure health status. In the Configuration

View panel, right-click the enclosure and select View

>

Overview to view the health status of the

enclosure and its components. The Enclosure Overview page enables you to see information about

each enclosure and its physical components in front, rear, and tabular views—using graphical or

tabular presentation—allowing you to view the health status of the enclosure and its components.
See

"Options available for performing basic steps" (page 51)

for a description of health status icons

and alternatives for monitoring enclosure health.

2.

Make sure that all modules are fully seated in their slots with latches locked.

3.

Make sure that no slots are left open for more than two minutes.
If you need to replace a module, leave the old module in place until you have the replacement or use a

blank module to fill the slot. Leaving a slot open negatively affects the airflow and can cause the

enclosure to overheat.

4.

Try replacing each power supply module one at a time.

5.

Replace the controller modules one at a time.

Sensor locations

The storage system monitors conditions at different points within each enclosure to alert you to problems.

Power, cooling fan, temperature, and voltage sensors are located at key points in the enclosure. In each

controller module and expansion module, the enclosure management processor (EMP) monitors the status

of these sensors to perform SCSI enclosure services (SES) functions.
The following sections describe each element and its sensors.

Power supply sensors

Each enclosure has two fully redundant power supplies with load-sharing capabilities. The power supply

sensors described in the following table monitor the voltage, current, temperature, and fans in each power

supply. If the power supply sensors report a voltage that is under or over the threshold, check the input

voltage.

Cooling fan sensors

Each power supply includes two fans. The normal range for fan speed is 4,000 to 6,000 RPM. When a

fan speed drops below 4,000 RPM, the EMP considers it a failure and posts an alarm in the storage system

event log. The following table lists the description, location, and alarm condition for each fan. If the fan

speed remains under the 4,000 RPM threshold, the internal enclosure temperature may continue to rise.

Replace the power supply reporting the fault.

During a shutdown, the cooling fans do not shut off. This allows the enclosure to continue cooling.
