Power Subsystem 3.7 Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS Cold Redundancy Support The power supplies that support cold redundancy can be enabled to go into a low-power state (that is, cold redundant state) in order to provide increased power usage efficiency when system loads are such that both power supplies are not needed. When the power subsystem is in Cold Redundant mode, only the needed power supply to support the best power delivery efficiency is ON.

Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS 3.7.2 Power Subsystem Powering on Cold Standby Supplies during a Fault or Over Current Condition When an active power supply asserts its CR_BUS signal (pulling it low), all parallel power supplies in cold standby mode shall power on within 100 μsec. 3.7.3 BMC Requirements The BMC uses the Cold_Redundancy_Config command to define or configure the power supply’s roll in cold redundancy and to turn on/off cold redundancy.
PAGE 44
Power Subsystem 3.8 Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS Closed Loop System Throttling (CLST) The server system supports Closed Loop System Throttling (CLST). CLST prevents the system from crashing if a power supply module is overloaded. If the system power reaches a preprogrammed power limit, CLST will throttle system memory and/or processors to reduce power. System performance will be impacted if this occurs.

Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS 4.2 Thermal Management Thermal Management Overview In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, all of the previously listed components and top cover need to be properly installed. For best system performance, the external ambient temperature should remain below 35ºC and all system fans should be operational. The system is designed for fan redundancy.
PAGE 48
Thermal Management Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS Selecting an altitude range that is lower than the actual altitude the system will be operating at, can cause the fan control system to operate less efficiently, leading to higher system thermals and lower system performance. If the altitude range selected is higher than the actual altitude the system will be operating at, the fan control system may provide better cooling but with higher acoustics and higher fan power consumption.
PAGE 49
Intel® Server System R2000LH2/T2 Product Family TPS 4.2.6 Thermal Management Thermal Sensor Input for Fan Speed Control The BMC uses various IPMI sensors as inputs to fan speed control. Some of the sensors are actual physical sensors and some are virtual sensors derived from calculations.

There are seven lower 40x56mm a dual rotor hot swap fans and four upper 40x56MM dual rotor hot swap fans. The system is designed for fan redundancy. If a single fan fails, the remaining system fans along with platform management will provide the necessary air flow and make other platform operating adjustments to maintain system thermals.
