Thermal Problems and Environmental Status
Overtemperature conditions can cause the system to shut down.
The AlphaServer TS15 system operates within an ambient temperature range of 5ºC to 40ºC
(41°F to 104°F). An internal sensor monitors the system temperature and shuts down the
system if maximum limits are exceeded. If the system shuts down unexpectedly:
•
Ensure that the side cover (pedestal) or top cover (rack) are properly secured.
•
Verify that the ambient temperature does not exceed the specified limits.
•
Make sure there are no obstructions to the airflow at the front or rear of the system.
•
Check to see that the cables inside the system are properly dressed. A dangling cable
can impede airflow to the system.
