Mandatory CSR parts (warranty only)—On-site or return-to-depot support for replacement of this part is not provided under the warranty. You can install a mandatory CSR part yourself or pay HPE service personnel to do the installation. A mandatory CSR part typically does not need tools to replace, consists of a single part, has minimum cabling, and is plug-and-play.

Controlled thermal shutdown Symptom If the thermal temperature of the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Controller Nodes or Drives increases to the point that temperature exceeds the acceptable range, alert notifications are displayed in the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Management Console (SSMC), and then a controlled shutdown of the component occurs automatically as a protective action.
Page 96
multiple Drives have been spun down due to exceeding the acceptable temperature range. If the system shuts down due to a pending TOC quorum loss from the spin down of too many Drives, power remains on for the nodes, Drives, and Drive Enclosures. For overheated Controller Nodes, a single Controller Node is shut down if one of its sensors reports a critical temperature.
