Diagnostics 8-3
5. Use the Temperature Sensors field to monitor the CPU and system temperatures. This information is
extremely useful in assessing if the switch exceeds its critical limits.
6. Refer to the Fans field to monitor the CPU and system fan speeds. Unlike a RFS7000 model switch, a
WS5100 has two fans.

8.1.2 CPU Performance
Use the CPU screen to view and modify the CPUs load statistics in terms of last 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
1. Select Diagnostics from the main tree menu.
2. Select the CPU tab.
3. The CPU screen has 2 fields:
• Load Limits
• CPU Usage
4. The Load Limit field displays the CPU load statistics in terms of last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. The limits
displayed coincide with periods of increased or decreased switch activity.
5. The CPU Usage field displays the real time CPU consumption values from the switch. Use this
information to periodically determine if performance is negatively impacted by the overusage of switch
CPU resources. If the CPU usage is substantial during periods of low network activity, then perhaps, the
situation requires troubleshooting.
