Health Metric Description
CPU Fan Speed This is the speed of the fan that is mounted on the CPU heat sink, in Revolutions Per Minute
(RPM). If the RPM lowers over time, this may indicate that the fan is getting dirty or needs
replacement.
Chassis Fan Speed This is the speed of the fan (in RPM) that is mounted on the right side ventilation holes on the
chassis (when viewing from the front of the receiver).
CPU Surface
Temperature
This is the surface temperature in degrees Celsius of the CPU chip.

to configuration functions within the receiver. These are described in the following sections. Note that some submenu
items will only appear when the appropriate special feature or option is purchased and installed (e.g. Redundancy
