If there is a specific temperature, for example "35", next to the component, then the ambient
temperature of the whole APC620 system cannot exceed this temperature.
Special case - RAID hard disks
For these hard disks, the limits will depend on whether the system is intended for 24-hour
1)
or
standard
1)
operation.
Example 1: A temperature limit of "30/35" means
30°C for 24-hour operation and 35°C for standard operation.
Example 2: A temperature limit of "-/25" means
not intended for 24-hour operation and 25°C for standard operation.
2.6.4 Temperature monitoring
The APC620 has temperature sensors in various places (I/O, power supply, slide-in drive 1,
slide-in drive 2). The locations of the temperature sensors can be found in the figure
"Temperature sensor locations", on page 541. The value listed in the table represents the
defined maximum temperature for this measurement point
2)
. An alarm is not triggered when this
temperature is exceeded. The temperatures
2)
can be read in BIOS (menu item "Advanced" -
Baseboard/panel features - Baseboard monitor) or in Microsoft Windows XP/Embedded, using
the B&R Control Center.
Additionally, the hard disks for APC620 systems available from B&R are equipped with
S.M.A.R.T, or Self Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. This makes it possible to
read various parameters, for example the temperature, using software (e.g. HDD thermometer -
freeware) in Microsoft Windows XP/Embedded.
1) 24-hour operation = 732 POH (Power On Hours) per month, standard operation = 250 POH or 333 POH (Power On Hours) per month.
Information:
It is generally recommended to use a fan kit when using RAID hard disks
(5ACPCI.RAIC-03).
2) The measured temperature is a guideline for the immediate ambient temperature, but can be influenced by neighboring components.
