If an alarm about the CPU overtemperature appears, several problems may
be the cause including the following:
■ Improper installation or damage of the air duct inside the chassis.
■ Fan and or air intake or output problems.
■ Excessive equipment room temperature (room temperature should be
between 10° C and 35° C (50° F - 95° F).

Inspect the fans in the power supplies on the rear left-hand side of the unit.
Verify that there are no obstructions or damage.
5
Inspect the air intake and output vents in the front panel and rear panel of the
unit. Verify that there are no obstructions or damage.

If the room temperature is too high, reduce the temperature at a rate of no
more than 10° C per hour until an acceptable temperature is reached.

Access the NetBackup Appliance Web Console and verify that the CPU
temperature has decreased.

If CPU temperature does not return to normal, escalate as necessary. The unit
may require replacement.
