Thermal Configuration

Use this option to select the fan cooling method for the system. Modifying this option is only advised for
configurations that differ from typical Hewlett Packard Enterprise-supported configurations that cannot be
cooled adequately via Optimal Cooling.

Setting the thermal configuration

Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Advanced Options > Fan and Thermal Options > Thermal Configuration and press Enter.
2. Select a setting and press Enter.
a. Optimal Cooling—Provides the most efficient solution by configuring fan speeds to the minimum
required to provide adequate cooling.
b. Increased Cooling—Operates fans at a higher speed.
c. Maximum Cooling—Provides the maximum cooling available for the system.
3. Press F10.

Thermal Shutdown

Use this 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.

Enabling or disabling thermal shutdown

Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Advanced Options > Fan and Thermal Options > Thermal Shutdown and press Enter.
2. Select a setting and press Enter.
a. Enabled—The server automatically shuts down when the internal server temperature reaches within
five degrees of the critical level.
b. 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. Press F10.
