Monitoring Fan Status
The Health page displays the fan status on all devices with fans. Depending on the 
model, there are one or more fans on a device. Some models have no fans at all.
On devices on which a temperature sensor is assembled, for protecting the device 
hardware in case it overheats, the following actions are performed by the device if 
it overheats and during the cool down period after overheating:
Event Action
At least one temperature 
sensor exceeds the 
Warning threshold
The following are generated:
• SYSLOG message
• SNMP trap
At least one temperature 
sensor exceeds the Critical 
threshold
The following are generated:
• SYSLOG message
• SNMP trap
The following actions are performed:
• System LED is set to solid amber (if hardware 
supports this).
• Disable Ports — When the Critical 
temperature has been exceeded for two 
minutes, all ports will be shut down.
• (On devices that support PoE) Disable the 
PoE circuitry so that less power is consumed 
and less heat is emitted.
