Configuring Temperature Thresholds

Anonymous user · ‎2021-07-01

I have an rt8000 with management card (AP9631) Am I missing something or being too logical??? I assumed high temperature would just give a warning and maximum temperature would invoke graceful shutdown of PowerChute clients. At the moment I am proven wrong in my assumption. As soon as a high temperature is reached graceful shut down occurs. This is ok, at least it works. But if this is normal operation what is the point in the maximum temperature threshold?

If I remove the tick from the box next to high it would appear this threshold becomes disabled as the alarm status returns to normal so again what is the point in having two thresholds. Is there a later version of PowerChute available that has two sets of commands that relate to the two thresholds? My version only has temperature probe in range and out of range commands.

The desired mode of operation would be to receive warnings when the high temperature is reached and graceful shut down occur at maximum threshold violation. Is this at all possible???

Thanks
