Temperature for 5320-24p-8xe

Temperature for 5320-24p-8xe

Hey all,

We have two 5320-24p-8xe stacked.

Doing a show temperature shows both switches as below:

Field Replaceable Units Temp (C) Status Min Normal Max
------------------------------------------------- --------- ------- --- ------- ---
Slot-1 : 5320-24P-8XE       69.32        Normal 0   10-100   110
Slot-2 : 5320-24P-8XE      67.88        Normal 0   10-100   110

Is this normal temperature considering they have just been installed and are not currently doing much?  And Max 110 seems quite a lot (assuming it is celsius and not fahrenheit).

Our stacked Cisco 9300's which are doing all our layer 3 stuff run less than that.

thanks

Hi JC,

 

I have a local 5320-48T that is running about the same temp, mid 60s.

The temps are in Celsius, that is correct.
The highest 'normal' temp is 100C, the highest temp the switch will allow before it automatically shuts off is 110C.

There is always a tradeoff of how fast to spin fans versus how hot to let the switch get. There is no way to manually adjust the fan speed, the switch will automatically set a suitable fan speed based on active load, PoE load, temperature of various sensors etc.

As long as the temp is in the 'normal' range and your fans are not 'failed' in 'show fans', then you're good to go!

Hope that helps!

Do you mean actual temperatures? Here are some more from select environments. All DC-type switches are in properly cooled locations, the access stuff may be in anything from good to whatever... Intervals are what I observed, not any sort of acceptable range.

X440G2-12p-10G4: 69-76 C
X450G2-48p-10G4: 77 C
X460G2-24t-10G4: 66C
X460G2-24x-10G4: 59-62 C
X695-48Y-8C: 38-50 C
X670V-48t: 38 C
7720-32C: 45-60C
5420F-24T-4XE: 65-75 C
5720-48MXW: 78 C
X350-24t: 37 C
X450a-24x: 39-42 C
X450e-48p: 40-45 C
X440-8p 32 C
X440-48p: 27-28 C
X460-48p: 20-27 C

As mentioned, the temperature may well be measured in vastly different places. Example:

Field Replaceable Units Temp (C) Status Min Normal Max
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch : X440-48p 33.00 Normal   -10    0-48   55

Normal is 0-48 and max 55. As you can see above, any X440/450/460-G2 will be over that limit, but they have this spec:

Field Replaceable Units Temp (C) Status Min Normal Max
------------------------------------------------------- --------- ------- --- ------- ---
Switch : X450G2-48p-10G4 77.00 Normal 0 10-100 110

So for them, it is normal with the ~77 C I observed.

Temperatures are measured in different places. It's like saying your car is too hot. Do you mean driver's seat, engine oil, coolant, washer fluid or the brakes?

You can check 'show temperature' to see operating temperature range on each switch.
