PowerVault MD3200 Over-Temperature Shutdown
Hello,
I have found this piece of text in the Technical Guidebook of the Dell Powervault MD3200:
Over-Temperature Shutdown
In order to prevent potential damage to the drives and subsequent loss of data, the power supply has the capability to shut itself down or be shut down by the RAID controllers in the event of an over-temperature condition. When the power supply incorporates its internal thermal shutdown feature, it will automatically restart when the over temperature condition no longer exists. Hysteresis of at least 5 degrees is employed to prevent a frequent toggling on and off of the outputs.
Does this mean this ‘over-temperature Shutdown’ is already configured or do we need to turn it on somewhere? I can’t seem to find that.
Thanks,
Wanda

Hello Wanda,
The setting are already Preconfigured & can’t be changed. You have 4 different temp probes in the system and they are listed as follows if looking at them from MDSM:
Temp Probe 0 = RAID Controller 0
Temp Probe 1 = RAID Controller 1
Temp Probe 2 = Backplane
Temp Probe 3 = Backplane
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you very much for you quick reply. Can you also tell me at what temperature the SAN will shut itself down?
