NOTE:
Fans driven to a high RPM in dense air cannot maintain expected RPM and will be
considered bad by the MP leading to a “False Fan Failure” condition.
Power Control
If active, the manageability firmware is responsible for monitoring the power switch on the front
panel. Setting this switch to the ON position is a signal to the MP to turn on 48 V DC power to
the server. The
PE
command can also be used to send this signal. This signal does not always
generate a transition to the powered state. The following conditions prevent the manageability
firmware from applying 48 V DC power to the server:
Insufficient number of active bulk power supplies
Insufficient number of I/O fans
Insufficient number of main fans
Ambient temperature is in an OVERTEMP HIGH condition
Unless one of the following conditions occurs, 48 V DC power to the server is maintained:
A main fan failure causes there to be an insufficient number of main fans.
A I/O fan failure causes there to be an insufficient number of I/O fans.
Ambient temperature reaches an OVERTEMP HIGH condition.
The front panel power switch is turned OFF.
The
PE
command is issued to the manageability firmware to turn off power to the server
cabinet.
