1. The enclosure will continue operating, requiring an administrator to take appropriate action; such as
replacing a PSU or reducing the room temperature. Alarm messages are signaled by the SES pages
(page 29).
2. An alarm is not issued for this status and severity condition.
3. The enclosure will take action; such as shutting down in order to protect the enclosure’s data content.
Alarm messages are signaled by the SES pages (page 29).

reference of system fan module LEDs.
Thermal monitoring and control
The storage enclosure system uses extensive thermal monitoring and takes a number of actions to ensure
component temperatures are kept low, and to also minimize acoustic noise.
Air flow is from the front to back of the enclosure.
