✅ Environmental Verification Checklist for Disk Overheating Issues

1. Cabinet & Ventilation

  • Confirm cabinet type: Server-grade cabinet (not glass-door networking cabinet).
  • Verify front and rear doors have ≥65% open area for airflow.
  • Ensure cabinet doors and panels are not obstructed.

2. Airflow

  • Check airflow direction: Front-to-rear cooling is unobstructed.
  • Remove any objects blocking airflow at the front or rear of the system.

3. Room Conditions

  • Measure ambient room temperature: Within recommended range (typically 18–27°C).
  • Verify air-conditioning is operational and cooling effectively.

4. Hardware Health

  • Inspect system fans: All fans running normally.
  • Check for any hardware alerts related to cooling or fan failures.

5. Additional Checks

  • Confirm no other equipment in the cabinet is generating excessive heat.
  • Review AutoSupport or CLI (disk show reliability-data) for temperature trends.
