Enable/Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown
By default, the operating system and server shut down when the PowerVault 220S and PowerVault 221S enclosures reach a critical temperature of 0 or 50
degrees Celsius. Using the Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown task, however, you can specify that only the enclosure, and not the operating system and
server be shut down when the enclosure reaches a critical temperature.
If the enclosure has virtual disks that are channel-redundant, then the enclosure can shut down while redundant data continues to be available on another
channel. See "Channel Redundancy and Thermal Shutdown" for more information.
To enable or disable thermal shut down:

1. Select the Storage tree view object.

2. Click the Information/Configuration subtab.

3. Select Enable Smart Thermal Shutdown or Disable Smart Thermal Shutdown from the Global Tasks drop-down menu. The Available Tasks drop-down
menu displays only one of these tasks at a time, depending on which option is currently selected.

4. Click Execute.
