2.3.2 GRF Features
GRF has the following features:
Redundant power supply
Should any power supply fail, a message is sent to the control board. The
power supply will automatically reduce its output voltage if the
temperature exceeds 90 °C (194 °F). If the voltage falls below 180V, the
GRF automatically shuts down.
Hot-swappable power supply
The faulty power supply can be replaced while the GRF is in operation.
Redundant fan
For the GRF 1600 model, if one fan breaks down, a message is sent to the
control board.
For both models, when the temperature reaches 53°C (128 °F), an audible
alarm sounds continuously, and a message is sent to the console and
logged into the message log.
