Fabric Watch Components 1 Areas While classes represent large groupings of information, areas represent the information that Fabric Watch monitors. For example, switch temperature, one of the values tracked by Fabric Watch, is an area within the class Environment. The tables in this section describe all of the areas monitored by Fabric Watch, organized by their associated classes. Environment Class Areas Table 1-2 lists and describes the Fabric Watch areas in the Environment class. Table 1-2 Environment Class Areas Area Description Fan Power Supply Temperature Refers to the speed of the fans inside the switch, in revolutions per minute. It is important that the fans spin quickly enough to keep the ambient temperature from rising to levels at which switch damage might occur. Monitors whether power supplies within the switch are on, off, present, absent, or faulty. Fabric Watch monitors power supplies to be sure that power is always available to a switch. Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius. Temperature sensors monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at which damage to the switch might occur. Note The fans in the SilkWorm 200E do not return RPM values, so there is no fan class area for it. Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide 1-5 Publication Number: 53-1000243-01

Areas
While classes represent large groupings of information, areas represent the information that Fabric
Watch monitors. For example, switch
temperature
, one of the values tracked by Fabric Watch, is an area
within the class
Environment
.
The tables in this section describe all of the areas monitored by Fabric Watch, organized by their
associated classes.
Environment Class Areas
Table 1-2
lists and describes the Fabric Watch areas in the
Environment
class.
Table 1-2
Environment Class Areas
Area
Description
Fan
Refers to the speed of the fans inside the switch, in revolutions per minute. It is
important that the fans spin quickly enough to keep the ambient temperature from
rising to levels at which switch damage might occur.
Power Supply
Monitors whether power supplies within the switch are on, off, present, absent, or
faulty. Fabric Watch monitors power supplies to be sure that power is always
available to a switch.
Temperature
Refers to the ambient temperature inside the switch, in degrees Celsius. Temperature
sensors monitor the switch in case the temperature rises to levels at which damage to
the switch might occur.
Note
The fans in the SilkWorm 200E do not return RPM values, so there is no
fan
class area for it.
