Goal

Temperature and airflow control are critical elements in maintaining an array. This document presents several tips for avoiding over-temp conditions for the following products:

Sun Storage 3310 Array
Sun Storage 3320 Array
Sun Storage 3510 Array
Sun Storage 3511 Array

Solution

In addition to monitoring external environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, it is also important to remove anything that may restrict, inhibit or negatively influence air flow or temperature in/out of the array. Removing unused SFPs may help prevent some over-temp conditions.

Sun Storage 3000 family products are NEBS Class 3-certified. When this equipment is installed and operated in an environment that potentially requires the equipment to be operated outside of the normal temperature range (including testing for such operation), the over-temperature controller shutdown trigger must be disabled.

Operating this equipment outside of the normal temperature range can adversely affect the operational lifetime of the equipment. The severity of the effect depends on the severity of the over-temp condition and the length of time that it persists.

Refer to the Sun Storage 3000 Family RAID Firmware 4.2x User's Guide and the Sun Storage 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual for your array model on the Oracle Disk Storage Systems Documentation page on the Oracle Technology Network.
