Thermal
cooling
The
Secure
Managed
Client
(SMC)
-
Storage
Array
uses
extensive
thermal
monitoring
to
ensure
component
temperatures
are
kept
low
and
acoustic

is
minimized.
Airflow
is
from
front
to
rear
of
the
enclosure.

Symptom
Cause
Action
If
the
ambient
air
is
cool
(below
25°C
or
77°F)
and
the
fans
are
observed
to
increase
in

then
some
restriction
on
airflow
may
be
causing
an
additional
internal

Note:
This
is

condition.
The
first
stage
in
the
thermal
control
process
is
for
the
fans
to
automatically
increase
in
speed
when
a
thermal
threshold
is
reached.
This
may
be
caused
by
higher
ambient
temperatures
in
the
local
environment
and
may
be
perfectly
normal.
Note:
This
threshold
changes
according
to
the
number
of
drives
and
power
supplies
installed.
1.
Check
the
installation
for
any
airflow
restrictions
at
either
the
front
or

of
2.5
cm
(1

and
5
cm
(2

at
the

is
recommended.
2.

due
to
