3.6.2 Hardware Information
Enter “Hardware monitor” function to view the current voltage and temperature.
If “Auto shutdown” has been checked, the system will shutdown automatically when voltage or
temperature is out of the normal range. For better data protection, please enable the “Auto Shutdown”
function.
To provide better protection and prevent auto shutdown due to temporary high temperature, STARDOM
SCSI Series Products use multiple judgment to determine whether to shut down automatically. The
following are the conditions for auto shutdown:
1. There are 3 temperature sensors; they are on the kernel chip, PCI-X and add-on card respectively.
The system will auto-detect each sensor every minute. If one of the sensors is detected to be in high
temperature for 7 minutes, the system will execute auto shutdown.
2. The maximum temperature of the kernel chip is 85°C. The maximum temperature of the PCI-X is
80°C. The maximum temperature of the add-on card is 80°C.
3. If the high temperature doesn’t last for 7 minutes, the system will not execute auto shutdown function.
3.6.3 Hard Drive S.M.A.R.T Function Support
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnostic tool for hard drives to give
advanced warning of hard disks failures. It provides users chances to take actions before possible hard
disks failure.
S.M.A.R.T. measures many attributes of the hard disk all the time and detects if the hard disk is moving
3.6 Enclosure Management
“Enclosure management” function allows the administrator to manage the other related information,
including “SAF-TE confi g”, “Hardware Monitor”, “S.M.A.R.T.” and “UPS” functions. To provide enclosure
management, the system implements different sensors, such as temperature sensor, voltage sensor, hard
disk sensor, fan sensor, power sensor and LED indicators. As these sensors come with different hardware
characteristics, each requires different detection time as listed below:
1. Temperature sensor: 1 minutes
2. Voltage sensor: 1 minutes
3. Hard disk sensor: 10 minutes
4. Fan sensor: 10 seconds. When the error is detected 3 times successively, the system will then send
error event log
5. Voltage sensor: 10 seconds. When the error is detected 3 times successively, the system will then
send error event log
6. LED indicator: 10 seconds
3.6.1 SAF-TE Confi g
SAF-TE represents SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosures. It is an enclosure management standard.
You can enable or disable this function by entering the “SAF-TE confi g” function.
