Managing temperature settings
This section describes how to display temperature settings on the PowerConnect B-Series TI24X
and how to change the temperature warning levels.
Using the temperature sensor
The PowerConnect B-Series TI24X comes with two built-in temperature sensors; one at the air
intake, and the other at the exhaust (refer to
air intake monitors the incoming air temperature. The temperature sensor at the air exhaust
monitors the air temperature as it exits the device. The temperature sensors cause the device to
generate a Syslog message and SNMP trap if the temperature exceeds a specified warning level
The software reads the temperature sensors according to the device poll time, which is 60 seconds
by default. If the temperature equals or exceeds the warning temperature the software generates a
Syslog message and SNMP trap.
You can use the CLI to perform the following:

•
Displaying the temperature
By default, the software polls the temperature sensor every 60 seconds to get the current
temperature. This poll rate is controlled by the device poll time, which also controls how often the
software polls other system components.
To display the temperature of a device, enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI.
The following shows an example output.
PowerConnect#show chassis
Power supply 1 (NA - NA - Regular) present, status ok
Power supply 2 not present
Fan 1 ok, speed (auto): [[1]]<->2<->3
Fan 2 ok, speed (auto): [[1]]<->2<->3
Fan 3 ok, speed (auto): [[1]]<->2<->3
