    Documentation Feedback: [email protected] Troubleshooting This section describes how to check the temperature of your storage array and expansion shelves to prevent overheating, and keep your system operating at safe levels. Check System Temperature Like any electronic device, HPE storage arrays and expansion shelves generate heat. The amount of heat generated, BTU per hour, depends on the model.

  • Page 113: Check System Temperature Using The Gui

    Documentation Feedback: [email protected] If you believe that the ambient temperature might exceed the specified safe level for the array, consider stopping I/O and then manually shutting down the array and its attached expansion shelves. That action avoids the possibility of a sudden, unplanned array shutdown.
