Chassis and Power Supplies Monitoring Chassis Temperature
OmniSwitch 6860 Hardware Users Guide October 2022 page 3-63
Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the ambient air temperature at all times via an onboard sensor. If an over-temperature
condition occurs, there are two different levels of error severity:
• Warning threshold has been exceeded
• Danger threshold has been exceeded
Warning Threshold
If the temperature exceeds the switch’s warning threshold, the switch sends out a trap. Traps are printed to
the console in the form of text error messages.
When the warning threshold has been exceeded, switch operations remain active. However, it is
recommended that immediate steps be taken to address the over-temperature condition.
Addressing warning threshold temperature conditions may include:
• Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
• Checking the ambient room temperature
Temperature Danger Threshold
If the chassis ambient air temperature rises above the danger threshold, the switch will power off until the
temperature conditions have been addressed and the switch is manually booted. The danger threshold is
factory-set and cannot be configured by the user.
Addressing danger threshold temperature conditions may include:
• Checking for a chassis airflow obstruction
• Checking the ambient room temperature
