System temperature monitoring
Brocade blades, chassis, and fixed-port switches are continuously monitored for thermal safety. Fabric OS thermal policies are based on
a matrix of sensor values particular to each device. Different versions of Fabric OS may also have different thermal policies, as these
limits are determined by testing and real-world experience. For all Brocade devices, fan speeds alter to accommodate temperature
changes. As a general rule, devices in danger of overheating will be shut down after a two-minute warning. The blades may shutdown
sooner if the temperature continues to rise drastically.
