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.

Setting fan installation requirements messaging

Use the Fan Installation Requirements option to configure how the server reacts when all required fans
are not installed. Operating the server without the required fans can result in damage to the hardware
components. By default, the server displays messages and log events to the IML when required fans are
not installed. The server can still boot and operate.
Procedure

• Enable Messaging—The server displays messages and log events to the IML when required fans
are not installed. The server can still boot and operate. This setting is the recommended setting.
• Disable Messaging—The server does not display message and log events when required fans are
not installed. All indications that the server is operating without required fans are removed.
