Environmental Monitoring Unit

UltraSCSI RAID Enclosure 3–13

Note

For detailed instructions about using the

set emu

commands, refer to the array controller documentation.

Compaq recommends using the

set emu fanspeed=automatic

command, allowing

individual EMUs to implement corrective action if one of the
following error conditions occur:

A blower fails.

A blower is removed.

A blower is rotating too slowly to provide sufficient air flow in
the shelf.

The EMU intake air temperature exceeds the user-defined
temperature setting.

The backplane exhaust air temperature exceeds the user-defined
temperature setting.

Compaq suggests using the

set emu fanspeed=high

command

for either of the following conditions:

EMU intake air temperature is more than 38°C (100°F).

No air conditioning is available.

If the EMU detects a blower or temperature error condition, it
automatically switches all the operational blowers to high-speed. This
speed increases the air flow through the enclosure and reduces the
possibility of component failure. Simultaneously, the EMU initiates
the following actions:

Sounds the audible alarm on the EMU.

Turns O

N

the amber system fault LED if the temperature exceeds

an established set point.

Turns O

N

the amber temperature fault LED.

Notifies the array controller of the error condition.
