Enabling or disabling higher ambient temperature support

About this task

Use the Extended Ambient Temperature Support option to enable the server to operate at higher ambient temperatures than are normally supported.

NOTE

This option is only supported by specific hardware configurations. See your HPE server documentation before enabling extended ambient temperature support. Improper system operation or damage to hardware components can result from enabling these features in unsupported configurations.

Procedure

  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Advanced Options > Fan and Thermal Options > Extended Ambient Temperature Support.
  2. Select a setting.

    • Disabled

    • Enabled for 40c Ambient (ASHRAE 3)—Enables the server to operate in environments with ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius.

    • Enabled for 45c Ambient (ASHRAE 4)—Enables the server to operate in environments with ambient temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius.

    NOTE

    Not all servers support both 40c Ambient (ASHRAE 3) and 45c Ambient (ASHRAE 4).

  3. Save your setting.
