● While modifying the warning threshold settings, the values are stored in the firmware as discrete integer values and scaled for display. If the modified value is not a discrete integer, it may change when saved. ● Fan redundancy can have the following states: ○ Fully Redundant — The sensors display this status if all the fans in the system are present and are in a non-failed state. ○ Redundancy Lost — The sensors display this status whenever any system fan fails or is removed from the chassis.
