Page 14: External Ambient Temperature
9C300-1 Environmental Module Operation External Ambient Temperature The 9C300-1 Environmental Module includes an external ambient temperature sensor. This sensor is located on the front of the Environmental Module, as shown in Figure 3-2. The ambient temperature is monitored and the results of the monitoring are available to the network manager via the LCD, as well as local and remote management. -
Page 15: Fan Speed
Fan Speed The 9C300-1 Environmental Module adjusts the speed of the system cooling fans (Figure 3-3) based on the external ambient temperature. Fan speed increases as ambient temperature rises to ensure adequate cooling for the system. Conversely, fan speed decreases as ambient temperature decreases. In the event the ambient temperature sensor, or the Environmental Module itself, fails, fan speed defaults to maximum speed to ensure adequate cooling. -
Page 16: System Humidity
9C300-1 Environmental Module Operation System Humidity The 9C300-1 Environmental Module monitors the non-condensing humidity level of the MMAC-Plus. The results of the monitoring are available to the network manager via LCD, as well as local and remote management. The humidity levels are displayed as shown in Table 3-2. -
