HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 Server User Guide

− The BIOS suspends the server for 5 minutes if it detects a cautionary

temperature level. If the cautionary temperature level is still detected
after 5 minutes, the BIOS performs an orderly shutdown and then
restarts. This process repeats until the cautionary temperature level is no
longer detected.

− The BIOS performs an orderly shutdown if the following minimum

requirements are not met: one working fan in the I/O zone, five working
fans in the processor zone, and one working fan in the power supply
zone.

− The server performs an immediate shutdown if it detects a critical

temperature level.

IMPORTANT: An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled
function and it overrides any firmware or software actions.

• In the operating system:

− With the Health Driver loaded and Thermal Shutdown enabled in RBSU,

the Health Driver performs an orderly shutdown if it detects a cautionary
temperature level. If the server detects a critical temperature level before
the orderly shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate
shutdown. Additionally, the Health Driver performs an orderly shutdown
if the following minimum requirements are not met: one working fan in
the I/O zone, five working fans in the processor zone, and one working
fan in the power supply zone.

− With the Health Driver loaded and Thermal Shutdown disabled in

RBSU, the server performs an immediate shutdown if it detects a critical
temperature level.

− Without Health Driver loaded, the server performs an immediate

shutdown if it detects a critical temperature level.

IMPORTANT: An immediate shutdown is a hardware-controlled
function and it overrides any firmware or software actions.
