Managing the cooling system

For information about checking the current low and high temperature threshold settings for
modules and fan speeds, refer to “Displaying temperature thresholds for modules and fan speeds”
on page 167.
Adjusting fan controls out of the default setting can negatively affect the efficient cooling of blades
and may cause a blade to overheat and shutdown.
You can change the default low and high temperature thresholds for a particular module and fan
speed. For example, to change the low and high thresholds of the medium fan speed for the
management modules to 56
° C and 72 °s C, respectively, enter the following command at the
global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# fan-threshold mp med 56 72
Syntax: fan-threshold module [low high-threshold] [med low-threshold high-threshold] [med-hi
low-threshold high-threshold] [high low-threshold high-threshold]
For the module parameter, you can specify the following:
Medium-high 62° C80° C
Medium 58° C75° C
Low –1° 70° C
