CPU Temperature
Indicates the temperature at the server’s core, displayed in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Refer to the device’s user
guide for temperature limits.
Operating ranges: ambient temperature is 0–35°C; Server CPU working temperature is less than 80°C.
Using a Backup Server
Assign a second server to provide redundancy in case the primary server fails. The switchover to the second
server occurs automatically and the switchover time depends on the session size. During this period, sound
is muted. Redundant servers are labeled “Backup” in the Inventory.
The second server in a server group is used only for redundancy. A server group can have only one active
server.
Test Redundancy
This test runs your session through the main and backup servers separately to confirm that each can handle the
session without failure. If the backup server cannot meet the session’s processing needs, the session may not
perform effectively if the main server fails.
The result of this test is either pass or fail. If the redundant server passes, then all is well. If it fails, you must
upgrade to a faster redundant server or reduce the number of plugins in the session.
Redundancy with Multiple-Server Systems
• If the active server in Server Group B, C, or D fails, its redundant server will take over, as described above.
• If there is no redundant server in the group, the plugins in racks assigned to that server group will be
bypassed, but the audio will keep flowing. When the server reconnects, there will be a short sync and the
channels that are patched to that server group will start processing the plugins again.
• Should the redundant server fail, audio will not be completely lost. Rather, rack processing will be bypassed
and the audio will remain unprocessed until the disconnected server is back online. In such cases, any
added plugin latency will remain calculated, unless rack processing is assigned to Server Group A.
