Monitoring
Your Switch has a fan monitoring system that will generate fan failure

unit is powered up.

Via the CLI menu:
An indication of a general hardware failure will be provided on the
Command Line Interface (CLI) through the top-level menu displayed
when logging on. For more detailed fault information, you should
enter the
system summary
menu for the device. No device status
information is provided when the fans are operational. Figure 13
shows an example CLI screen, while Figure 14 shows an example of an
individual unit system summary screen.
