unexpectedly

under

any

of

the

following

conditions:

Attention:

There

might

be

data

loss

in

each

of

the

following

cases:

v

The

internal

temperature

of

the

storage

server

exceeds

the

maximum

operating

temperature

(an

over-temperature

condition).

If

both

fan

CRUs

fail

or

are

unable

to

maintain

an

internal

temperature

below

70°

C

(158°

F),

one

or

both

of

the

power

supplies

in

the

storage

server

will

shut

down.

If

both

power

supplies

shut

down,

the

unit

is

inoperable.

The

DS4000

Storage

Manager

client

warns

you

if

the

temperature

of

the

unit

is

rising

before

it

has

risen

sufficiently

to

shut

down

the

power

supplies.

The

first

warning

comes

when

the

storage

server

internal

temperature

exceeds

45°

C

(113°

F).

The

storage

server

shuts

down

if

the

temperature

rises

to

70°

C

(158°

F).

v

There

is

a

general

power

failure

or

a

loss

of

power

to

the

unit.

v

You

are

forced

to

shut

down

the

storage

server

without

performing

the

normal

shutdown

procedures

(listed

in

“Turning
