Users seeking to confirm proper operational cooling should measure the temperature

of the boards in their system using the on board thermal sensor. The Dialogic

DSI

Development Package includes the tempmon utility, which enables the user to

periodically read back the temperature of all the SS7MD boards in the system.

Further tests required

SS7MDL4 board is not in line with

the airflow created by the main

fans. In this scenario, the cooling

(which may be generated by

secondary fans) is likely to be less

powerful and may be insufficient to

adequately cool the board to an

extent to reliably avoid temperature

issues.

Likely to be Adequate

SS7MDL4 board is in line with the

airflow created by the main fans as

they cool the CPUs. In this

scenario, the cooling is likely to be

adequate to prevent the occurrence

of temperature issues.
