Indicates the thermal state of a card, if supported.
value = slot[X].thermal.state
[X]: Slot number (1 to 6)
value: Indicates whether or not the thermal state of card is getting warm to affect the
card's specifications. The thermal state's possible return values:
nil: no card is installed or card installed does not support thermal state detection.
0: Means the thermal conditions on card are okay.
1: Means thermal conditions of the card are at a point where specs may be affected.
This attribute will not exist for a slot if a card is not installed or the card installed does
not support thermal state detection. In these cases, the return value will be nil. Use
this attribute to query the thermal state only if the card supports detecting thermal
state.
To query the thermal state on Slot 3:
print(slot[3].thermal.state)
