Page 11 The non-operating temperature of the switch is -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 70 degrees Celsius). Overview of Module Temperatures Built-in, automatic sensors in all switches in the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series monitor your switch at all times. Each module (supervisor, I/O, and fabric) has temperature sensors with two thresholds: Note For any Major temperature alarms from the sensors, the switch powers down in 2 minutes.
Page 12 • If you do not have a standby supervisor module in your switch, you have 2 minutes to decrease the temperature. For Cisco Nexus 9364E-SG2 switches, there is no standby SUP. For any major alarms, the switch powers down in 2 minutes. During this interval, the software monitors the temperature every 5 seconds and continuously sends system messages every 10 seconds, as configured.
