overheated and shut down unexpectedly
Hi Dell,
I have a customer using dell - Dell R7615-XL
> Device overheated and shut down unexpectedly
> Instead of coming back up, it went to hibernation as a way to protect itself
This leads to these questions:
> Is the hibernation normal/ expected?

A thermal event should trigger a hardware‑controlled shutdown, not OS hibernation.
If the system hibernated instead of shutting down, the cause is almost certainly:
Hope that helps!
